About this map

The town of Glenwood serves as the central hub of this Wheeler County landscape, situated at the junction where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad tracks meet Georgia highways. The map details a rural geography defined by the meandering Oconee River along the eastern boundary, which separates Wheeler from Montgomery County. This river corridor is fed by numerous tributaries including Ochwalkee Creek, Peterson Creek, and Larry Creek, which carve through the wooded terrain.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered throughout the countryside. Notable locations include the Troop Grave near Larry Creek, along with Landsburg Ch, Pearson Grove Ch, and Starlight Ch. Smaller settlements such as Stuckey and Ochwalkee appear alongside industrial and navigational markers like a Sandpit, a Gaging Station, and a Lookout Tower BM 240.
