About this map

Lake Seminole dominates the central landscape of this Decatur County region, where the sprawling reservoir meets the winding course of Spring Creek. The map documents a rural transition from the high ground of Curry Hill in the south toward the water-bound peninsulas and inlets near Bass Island. This modern survey provides significant detail for local historians, recording numerous family and community landmarks such as Mock Cem, Breedlove Cem, and Morning Star Cem.

Settlement patterns are anchored by the small communities of Bethany, Recovery, and Faceville, each connected by a network of long-established country routes like Ten Mile Still Rd and Hales Landing Rd. The terrain is defined by its low-lying hydrology, featuring smaller water bodies like Peter Pond and the prominent curve of Big Horseshoe Bend, illustrating how the Georgia landscape has been shaped by both natural drainage and the massive reservoir project.
