About this map

The Ocmulgee River serves as the central artery for this section of Middle Georgia, carving a path through the landscape and defining the boundary between Jones and Monroe Counties. The settlements of Juliette, East Juliette, and Percale cluster near the riverbanks, where landforms like Bridges Island and Zellner Island sit within the channel. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Jerry Wadley Memorial Bridge and the Hinton Shoals Bridge, which connect the dispersed rural communities and family homesteads.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial sites scattered across the ridges, including Ebenezer Cem, Holly Grove Cem, and Newby-Mitchell Cem. The hydrography of the region is further defined by extensive drainage systems including Berry Cr, Rum Cr, and Little Deer Cr, which feed into larger bodies such as Hicks Lake. The map reveals a transition from river-bottom wetlands to upland forests, with a dense network of roads like Old Juliette Road and Holly Grove Road linking the historic crossroads.
