About this map

Walter F George Reservoir defines the western edge of this landscape, where the waters of the Chattahoochee River system meet the varied terrain of the Georgia-Alabama border. The inland area is a network of creek drainages including Drag Nasty Creek, Pataula Creek, and Wildcat Creek, which carve through the elevations of Georgetown-Quitman County. Small settlements like Hatcher and Garnersville are connected by a web of local routes and county roads, reflecting the rural character of the region.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this map, including Saint Paul Cem, Methvin Cem, and the Old Pataula Cem. These landmarks, along with family-named places like Ricks Place and Balkcom Lake, provide specific points of reference for tracing local heritage. The boundary between Quitman County and Clay County is clearly delineated as it passes through this quiet stretch of West Georgia.
