About this map

Lexington serves as the primary hub in this Georgia landscape, situated at the junction of several established local routes. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Troublesome Creek, Long Creek, and Milner Brook, which feed into the larger Buffalo Creek system. This map reveals a distributed rural community characterized by family-named landmarks and smaller settlements like Hogan.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, such as the Reece Cemetery, Atkins Cemetery, and Smith-Freeman Cemetery. The industrial and transportation history of Oglethorpe County is also evidenced by the Guarentee Mine in the east and the Bobby Maxwell Airstrip, providing a look at how land use in the region has evolved around its natural features like Big Mountain.
