About this map

The Yellow River winds through the heart of this landscape, separating the residential developments of Conyers from the more rural reaches of Milstead and Oxford. This modern survey illustrates a region where local industry and recreation are inextricably linked to its hydrology, evidenced by the presence of historical impoundments like Costley Millpond and Dials Millpond. The topography is punctuated by Griffin Mtn and a series of smaller lakes such as Rockdale Lake and Randy Poynter Lake.

Cultural and commemorative sites are scattered throughout, including the Gum Creek Presbyterian Cem and Victory Church Cem. The map also captures the sprawling footprint of the Georgia International Horse Park, a significant regional landmark located near the McDaniel Bridge. Modern infrastructure, such as the CSX rail line and numerous named roads like Zingara Rd NE, facilitates the connection between older settlements like Zingara and newer communities like Hi Roc Shores.
