About this map

The Ocmulgee River winds through this rural landscape in central Georgia, defining a territory characterized by numerous creeks and scattered agricultural settlements. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, the community of Finleyson serves as a local hub, while smaller nodes like Wallace and Goose Neck anchor the north. The terrain's relationship with water is evident in the many named drainages such as Mosquito Creek, Big Creek, and Tenmile Creek, alongside engineered features like Dawson Lake Dam.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the rural road network, including Union Cemetery, Sapp Cemetery, and Bohanon Cemetery. The prominence of Cotton Bluff along the river suggests the historic importance of high ground for both navigation and settlement. The intricate grid of local thoroughfares, such as Sandridge Church Rd and Fountain Mill Rd, connects these isolated homesteads and cemeteries to the larger Pulaski County region.
