About this map

The Yellow River snakes through this Georgia landscape, serving as a primary corridor for the communities of Conyers and Milstead. The terrain is defined by a series of impoundments and small water bodies, including Hi-Roc Lake, Weaver Lake, and Costley Millpond, which reflect the area's transition from early milling sites to modern residential and recreational use. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, such as Gum Creek Presbyterian Cem and the Almand Cem.

Significant landmarks like the Georgia International Horse Park and Griffin Mtn highlight the local topography and land use. The map also captures the convergence of several county lines, where Rockdale, Walton, and Newton counties meet. Historic crossings such as McDaniel Bridge and Pine Log Bridge provide points of reference along the river, while established settlements like Zingara and Lola Landing mark the residential clusters throughout the quadrangle.
