About this map

The Ohoopee River and its network of tributaries, including the Little Ohoopee River and Covena Branch, define this stretch of Treutlen County. The settlement at Covena serves as a northern anchor, while the rural landscape to the south is dotted with established family burying grounds such as Wilkes Cemetery, Herrington Cemetery, and Holton Cemetery. This geographic record captures a traditional agrarian pattern of Georgia’s coastal plain, where communities often coalesced around key crossroads like Five Points or water sources like Gillis Springs.

Hydrography plays a significant role in the local infrastructure, evidenced by numerous small dams and ponds. Landmarks such as Smith Lake Dam and Wildwood Lake Dam indicate a managed landscape of water resources. The southern portion of the area is further characterized by Pendleton Creek and Dykes Pond, illustrating the many drainages that feed the river system while providing sites for local recreation and industry.
