About this map

Knoxville and the nearby community of Allon serve as the primary focal points of this central Georgia landscape, where the rural topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways and early engineering works. The drainage patterns of Beaver Creek, Mossy Creek, and Deep Creek are punctuated by several significant water control structures, including the Hortmans Mill Pond Dam and JK Hogan Dam. These features suggest a history of local milling and agriculture that has shaped the modern layout of the county.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through several family and community burial sites like Old Bethel Cemetery and Powell Cemetery. The presence of the Knoxville Post Office and the convergence of roads like Old Knoxville Rd and Hortman Mill Rd highlight the area's role as a local transit and administrative hub. Small-scale water bodies such as Lake Henry and Hortman Lake further characterize the region's hydrography.
