1964 Map of Lloyd Shoals Dam

About this map

Lloyd Shoals Dam serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, where the South River and Alcovy River converge to form the sprawling waters of Jackson Lake. This 1964 survey captures the rural character of the borderlands between Butts, Jasper, and Newton Counties. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the dense canopy of the Oconee National Forest, while the northern banks feature family-named landmarks like Leverette Neck and the small settlement of Leverette. Community life is anchored by numerous country churches and cemeteries, including Mt Zion Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Minter Cem. Downstream from the dam, the Ocmulgee River winds south through heavily forested terrain, passing Forty Acre Island as it flows toward the southern boundary of the quadrangle.
