2011 Map of Hentown

About this map

Hentown, New Hope, and Cuba anchor this agricultural region of Early County, Georgia, where a network of rural county roads connects family landmarks and burial sites. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Spring Creek, Wamble Creek, and the winding path of Dry Creek. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several named cemeteries, including Liberty Hill Cemetery to the north and Dubose Cemetery and Houston Cemetery toward the southeast. The impoundment of Maddox Lake behind the Maddox Lake Dam provides a central water feature among the timber and farm plots, while Five Bridge marks a notable crossing in the northeast corner. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the Georgia Panhandle at the start of the 2010s.
