About this map

Penholoway Creek and its tributary Little Penholoway Creek form the primary drainage network through this rural stretch of Wayne County. The settlement pattern is defined by several small communities including Broadhurst, Sun Hill, McKinnon, and O Neal, all situated along the central north-south transportation corridor. Family history and local heritage are anchored by documented sites such as the Old German Cemetery in the northeast and Rogers Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle.

A network of local roads like Broadhurst Rd and White Star Rd connects these settlements to the surrounding lowlands. The landscape is characterized by numerous small watercourses, including Bear Branch and Twomile Branch, which feed into the larger creek systems. These hydrological features likely influenced the early placement of farmsteads and the eventual development of the small named communities that persist in this corner of Georgia.
