About this map

The Ocmulgee River meanders through the eastern portion of this Middle Georgia landscape, creating a broad wetland corridor that defines the local geography. Settlements like Finleyson, Wallace, and the descriptively named Goose Neck are connected by a network of rural routes and fire roads, reflecting the region's long-standing forestry and agricultural character. The terrain is marked by numerous water features, including Dawson Lake, Treisch Lake, and several creeks such as Big Cr and Limestone Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks across the Pulaski and Wilcox county line, including Union Cem, Bohanon Cem, and Slade Cem. Natural features like Cotton Bluff and Pappy Jack Spring provide specific points of reference for those tracing family property or regional history. The map captures the quiet, rural character of the area, where small communities persist amidst the river-fed lowlands and pine-covered hills.
