About this map

Gillsville and the southern edge of Lula anchor this Northeast Georgia landscape at the intersection of Hall, Banks, and Jackson counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the N Oconee River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Candler Cr, Cedar Cr, and Buffington Mill Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate rural road network that connects several established family and community landmarks, such as Garrison Shoals and Miller Lake.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the many burial grounds documented across the area. These range from larger church-affiliated sites like Dunagans Chapel Methodist Cem, Lebanon Methodist Cem, and Diamond Hill Baptist Cem to smaller family plots such as King Cem. The map also identifies local infrastructure like B Tree Farms Airport, providing a clear view of the contemporary settlement patterns and land use in this Piedmont region.
