About this map

Oconee National Forest and the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge dominate the northern and western reaches of this landscape in Jones County. The map details a transition from dense timber and protected lands to the residential and commercial centers of Gray and the nearby village of Clinton. Numerous family cemeteries are scattered throughout the region, including Hunt Cem, Gordon Cem, and Clawson Cem, providing valuable markers for local genealogical research.

Water is a defining characteristic of the area, with several named lakes such as Hungerford Lake, Hulett Lake, and Ussery Lake fed by creeks like Shoal Cr and Wolf Cr. The road network connects small communities like Round Oak, Wayside, and Bradley, with several roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Otis Redding Dr and Damascus Church Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted social history of this part of Georgia.
