About this map

Locust Grove and Jenkinsburg anchor this Georgia landscape, documenting the corridor where the interstate highway intersects with the area's older river and rail-era geography. The Towaliga River winds through the southern portion of the map, fed by several tributaries including Indian Creek and Lee Creek. This network of waterways historically influenced local land use, evidenced by the numerous small lakes and dams such as Southern States Lake Dam and Hetrick Lake Dam that dot the countryside.

Genealogists can find important local landmarks, including the Henley-Heflin Cemetery and the Patrick Cemetery, alongside rural features like Spears Ford and Winns Bridge that cross the upper reaches of the Tussahaw Reservoir. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the early 21st-century community, from the Locust Grove Post Office to the Ben Ammons Airport and the Butts Lookout Tower, providing a comprehensive view of the township's layout during this period of development.
