About this map

The Walter F George Reservoir shapes the western and southern landscape of this region along the border of Quitman and Clay Counties. This 2017 survey illustrates the rural character of the area, where small settlements like Hatcher and Garnersville are connected by a network of county roads. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Drag Nasty Creek, Wilkey Cr, and Pataula Creek, which feed into the larger reservoir system.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-distributed burial sites, such as Old Pataula Cem in the northeast and Saint Paul Cem near the center of the sheet. The southern reach of the map features Ricks Place along the shoreline, highlighting the intersection of local habitation and the expansive reservoir waters. Notable small-scale landmarks like Balkcom Lake and the Methvin Cem further define the historic footprint of these Georgia communities.
