2024 Map of Gray

About this map

The Jones County Courthouse serves as the focal point for this area of central Georgia, where the seat of Gray and the adjacent community of Clinton mark a historic crossroads. The landscape is defined by the transition between protected federal lands, including the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge in the northwest and sections of the Oconee National Forest to the northeast. Small settlements like Round Oak, Wayside, and Bradley are scattered along the corridor of Old Highway 11, reflecting a rural development pattern anchored by local faith and family history. Genealogists will find numerous small burial sites such as Edwards Cem and Clawson Cem, alongside more prominent landmarks like the Sunshine United Methodist Church Cem. The terrain is drained by a complex network of waterways, including Shoal Creek and Little Chehaw Creek, which feed into various local impoundments like Lowe Lake and Rowland Lake.
