About this map

The Chattahoochee River corridor along the Georgia-Alabama border defines this landscape, where the expansive Walter F George Reservoir meets a network of inland creeks and family-named landmarks. The terrain is deeply etched by water, with Drag Nasty Creek, Wilkey Creek, and Pataula Creek draining toward the reservoir. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including the Old Pataula Cemetery and Methvin Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Quitman County.

Small settlements like Hatcher and Garnersville are connected by a web of county roads such as Old Fort Gaines Rd and Hatcher Rd. The map also documents local infrastructure and recreation, from the Balkcom Lake Dam to the Cool Branch Recreation Area. Significant crossings and points of interest like Wire Bridge and Ricks Place offer a specific look at the rural geography and land use patterns of the early 21st century.
