2020 Map of Gray

About this map

The Jones County Courthouse in Gray serves as the focal point for this section of Middle Georgia, where the small-town layout meets the vast timberlands of the Oconee National Forest. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by its transition from the municipal seat at Gray and the older village of Clinton to the protected wilderness of the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of numerous family and church burial sites, including Edwards Cem, Clawson Cem, and Methodist Cem. Small settlements like Round Oak, Wayside, and Bradley follow the corridor of Old State Hwy 11, reflecting a settlement pattern tied to the state's early interior transport routes. To the north and west, the terrain is shaped by numerous watercourses such as Little Chehaw Cr and Shoal Creek, interspersed with local landmarks like Otis Redding Dr.
