About this map

Cedar Creek and its many tributaries, including Double Branch Creek and Wolf Creek, define the drainage patterns across this section of south-central Georgia. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of local routes such as Snow RD and Tom Taylor RD, reflecting a rural agricultural layout where family names are frequently attached to the land and thoroughfares. The settlement of Finleyson sits at the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a local focal point near the crossing of Tenmile Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant landmarks, including Mock Spring and the Fountain Millpond. Smaller burial sites like Double Branch Cem and Williams Cem are preserved in the survey, providing essential data points for tracing family history in the area. The map also clearly delineates the political boundaries between Dooly and Pulaski counties and the southern line shared with Wilcox County, showing how these borders intersect with the natural flow of Bluff Creek and Long Branch.
