2020 Map of High Shoals

About this map

The Apalachee River serves as the winding boundary between Oconee, Walton, and Morgan counties, anchoring a rural landscape defined by historic mill sites and small agrarian settlements. Near the river's path, Snows Mill and the community of North High Shoals highlight the importance of waterpower to the region's early development. The terrain is notably marked by Turkey Creek Mtn, providing a distinct topographic rise amidst the surrounding creeks. Local aviation history is represented by the Appalachee Bluff Riverfront Airpark near Horseshoe Bend. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with small family and church burial grounds, including the Carlton Family Cem, Locklin Cemetery, and Laboon Cem. These scattered landmarks, along with established towns like Good Hope and Bostwick, preserve the 21st-century footprint of long-standing Georgia communities.
