1964 Map of High Shoals

About this map

The Apalachee River forms a winding natural boundary between Walton and Oconee counties, carving through a landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and early Georgia industry. The presence of Snows Mill along the river and the Cotton Research Station to the north reflects the region's historical reliance on water power and textile production. At Horseshoe Bend, the river creates a dramatic loop, while the surrounding hills are dotted with family-named landmarks like McGaughey Cem and Locklin Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research.
