About this map

McRae-Helena serves as the focal point of this 2017 study, where the merged identity of the neighboring towns of McRae and Helena is reflected in the street grids and shared infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the Little Ocmulgee River and its accompanying Little Ocmulgee Lake, which frame the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Local family history is preserved in sites like Oak Grove Cem and Floyd Cem, while the industrial and transportation needs of the county are met by the Telfair-Wheeler Airport.

Rural reaches to the west and south, such as Achord, are characterized by a network of drainage ways including Turnpike Creek and Sugar Creek. The mapping reveals a transition from the dense residential blocks of the central settlements to larger agricultural parcels and namesake roads like Whatley Plantation Drive, illustrating the persistent agrarian character of Telfair County and neighboring Wheeler County and Dodge County.
