About this map

Glenwood serves as the central hub of this Wheeler County landscape, situated at the intersection of a established road network near the Oconee River. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Ochwalkee Creek and its various tributaries, including Peterson Creek and Larry Creek. The map reveals a dense concentration of historical markers important to genealogists, with family-named landmarks such as Mason Cemetery and Jones Cemetery scattered throughout the rural periphery.

Religious and community life is anchored by Snowhill Church and its associated New Stuckey Cemetery near the settlement of Stuckey. Further north, the namesake Ochwalkee area and features like Baker Cemetery illustrate the legacy of small communities that once thrived along the county line. The land is defined by these small church and cemetery sites, which often provide the only remaining evidence of earlier homesteading patterns in this river-bottom region.
