2024 Map of Cow Hell Swamp

About this map

The Oconee River serves as the central artery for this region of Central Georgia, defining the borders between Wilkinson, Johnson, and Laurens Counties. The river's meandering course is accompanied by complex wetlands, including Beaverdam Swamp and the distinctly named Cow Hell Swamp. These lowlands are marked by oxbow remnants and secondary channels such as Yorks Dead River and Still Branch, illustrating the shifting nature of the river valley over time. Higher ground is largely defined by rural road networks and a significant concentration of family and community burial sites.
