About this map

The Ocmulgee River carves through the landscape of the Georgia Piedmont, serving as the boundary between Monroe and Jones Counties. This region is centered around the settlements of Juliette, East Juliette, and Percale, where river crossings and local agriculture shaped the community structure for generations. Notable river features include Bridges Island and Zellner Island, while the confluence of the Tawaliga River and various creeks like Berry Cr and Rum Cr define the local drainage patterns. Large bodies of water, including Williams Lake and Hicks Lake, are prominent landmarks in the central and southern portions of the territory.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the area. Several sites, such as Ebenezer Cem, Saint Peters Rock Cem, and the Newby Mitchell Cem, provide specific points of interest for tracing lineage in this part of Georgia. The road network, including the Hinton Shoals Bridge and numerous local routes like Ponder Trammell Rd and Maynard Church Rd, reveals the historical connectivity between these rural outposts and the neighboring river landings.
