About this map

Lake Oconee dominates this Georgia landscape where the waters of the Oconee River meet the boundaries of Greene, Putnam, and Hancock counties. The map documents a complex shoreline of deep coves and peninsulas, reflecting a modern topography shaped by the impoundment of the river. Despite the contemporary water levels, submerged features of the original riverbed like Long Shoals and Riley Shoals remain identified, marking the historical fall line terrain.

Away from the water, the settlement of Liberty and numerous family cemeteries preserve the area's rural genealogy. Small burial grounds like Ward Hill Cem, Copelan Credille Cem, and Old Salem Cem are scattered across the uplands, often accessed by winding routes like Walker Church Rd or White Plains Rd. The network of creeks, including Stewarts Creek and Sandy Creek, continues to define the drainage patterns of these historic Georgia Piedmont ridges.
