2011 Map of Harmony

About this map

Lake Oconee dominates the eastern and northern portions of this landscape, its sprawling shoreline punctuated by numerous recreational and residential developments like Sugar Creek Boat Ramp. The reservoir, formed by the impoundment of the Oconee River, creates a complex network of inlets and coves where smaller tributaries such as Lick Creek, Jacks Fork, and Glade Branch meet the rising waters. Inland from the lake, the rural character of Putnam County is defined by a series of small, established settlements and crossroads including Harmony, Jefferson, and Glades Cross-Roads. The terrain is further characterized by numerous small private impoundments and dams, such as Walker Lake, Kraft Lake, and Dodson Pond, reflecting the localized water management common in Georgia's Piedmont region during the early 21st century.
