About this map

The Chattahoochee River corridor dominates this landscape, where the waters widen into the Walter F George Reservoir along the Georgia-Alabama border. The settlement of Georgetown sits at a strategic junction near the Vandiver Causeway, serving as a gateway between the two states. This 2011 survey captures the intricate shoreline of the reservoir, revealing numerous inlets and fingers where local drainages like Cowikee Creek and Wylaunee Creek meet the main pool.

Evidence of local navigation and land management is visible through features such as Watson's Lndg and the Quitman Lookout Tower. To the north, the small community of Wylaunee remains a point of interest for local history, while the surrounding countryside is defined by a network of rural routes including Lower Lumpkin Rd and Kaigler Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the various tributaries, such as Bustahatchee Creek and Tobannee Creek, that feed the larger river system.
