2017 Map of Crawford

About this map

Smithonia, Arnoldsville, and Crawford form a triangle of rural settlements across the Oglethorpe County landscape, defined by a network of creeks and small family cemeteries. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Hawks Cr, Big Clouds Cr, and Goulding Cr, which feed into larger bodies like Lake George and Beaver Dam Lake. A notable landmark for local historians is the Howards Covered Bridge, situated in the northeastern corner near the Martin Cem. The map reveals a dense distribution of ancestral burial grounds, including the Mathews Cem, Beaverdam Cem, and Randolph Tucker Cem, providing a clear record of local family lineages. The boundary between Oglethorpe County and Clarke County runs through the southwestern section, marking the rural edge of the region.
