2011 Map of Cow Hell Swamp

About this map

The Oconee River winds through this rural Laurens County landscape, defining a network of wetlands and riverfront activity including Halls Landing and Deep Creek Landing. The terrain is characterized by intricate water systems such as Yorks Dead River, Clear Lake, and Jack Lake, alongside the expansive Tuckers Flat. Local road networks like Old Toomsboro Rd and Old Claxton Rd connect numerous family and community landmarks, providing a clear view of the area's social geography. This survey is particularly significant for genealogical research, documenting many small burial sites such as Londonfield Cemetery, Stanley Cemetery, Guyton Cemetery, and Walker Cemetery. The map also captures several ponds and creeks, including Goat Pond and Big Sandy Creek, illustrating the environmental character of the central Georgia river basin before more recent development.
