About this map

Gray and its northern surroundings in Jones County are characterized by a transition from organized residential streets to a landscape defined by small-scale reservoirs and creek systems. Water management is a central theme of this 2011 survey, with numerous family or locality-named impoundments such as Lowe Lake, Hulett Lake, and Cheatham Lake scattered across the terrain. These man-made features often follow the paths of Walnut Creek and Shoal Creek, reflecting local agricultural and land-management practices in central Georgia.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds, including the Hunt, Gordon, and Edwards cemeteries. The northern settlement of Round Oak remains a notable point of interest, anchored by the Round Oak Cemetery and the Round Oak Lookout. The road network, featuring Old Highway 11 and various rural routes like Greene Settlement Rd, provides a clear view of how these small communities and isolated homesteads remained connected in the early 21st century.
