2011 Map of Gumm Pond

About this map

The Oconee River carves a winding path through this central Georgia landscape, defined by a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes. Numerous water bodies with distinctive names like Steel Trap Lake, High Bridge Lake, and Salt Log Lake line the river valley, indicating the flood-prone nature of the alluvial plain. The presence of the Harrison Mine near Bluff Creek points to local extractive industry, while the naming of Beech Ridge and Big Bend highlights the geographical features that shaped early navigation and land use. Local roads like Indian Trail Rd and Harmony Church Rd crisscross the rural terrain, connecting dispersed family-named locations such as Adams Pond and Lord Lake. This area reflects a quiet, rural economy tied closely to the river's hydrology and the surrounding forest land.
