About this map

Walter F George Reservoir defines the western edge of this landscape where the Quitman and Clay county line meets the water. The interior terrain is shaped by a dense network of tributaries including Drag Nasty Cr, Pataula Creek, and Billy Methvin Cr, which carve through the elevations east of the reservoir. Settlement is concentrated along rural routes like Ga-39 and Us-82, with small communities such as Hatcher, Ricks Place, and Garnersville anchoring the local geography.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across the quadrangle. From the Old Pataula Cem in the northeast to the Saint James Cem near the reservoir and the Midway Cem further south, these locations provide critical links to the area's rural history. The landscape is also marked by smaller water bodies like Balkcom Lake, showing the persistent agrarian character of this Southwest Georgia region.
