2011 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington and Oxford serve as the primary hubs in this Newton County landscape, where urban development meets a dense network of residential subdivisions and historical burial grounds. The geography is defined by the Alcovy River and its tributaries, including Cornish Creek and Wrights Creek, which carve through the terrain south of the Greer Lake Dam. The proliferation of modern neighborhoods like Settlers Grove, Brentwood, and Meadowwood Subdivision illustrates the suburban expansion of the early 21st century, yet the map remains deeply rooted in local history. Numerous family and community landmarks persist, from the Confederate Soldiers Cemetery in the northwest to the rural settlement of Hayston in the southeast. This survey preserves the locations of vital local sites such as the Windy Hill Airport, Morgan Farm Field, and the Troy University East Atlanta Covington Site, documenting a period of transition where traditional agricultural spaces are increasingly woven into the fabric of a growing metropolitan corridor.
