About this map

The Oconee River defines the western edge of this Montgomery County landscape, where the neighboring settlements of Mount Vernon and Ailey serve as the primary hubs of activity. This 2011 survey reveals a territory deeply tied to family and community history, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as McKinnon Cemetery, Peterson Cemetery, and the McRae Cemeteries.

Waterways like Limestone Creek, Lotts Creek, and Cypress Branch carve through the terrain, influencing the layout of local routes like Old Savannah Rd and the McGregor-Alston Rd. The proximity of the town centers suggests a long-standing relationship between these two communities, while outlying areas like Oak Grove and McGregor provide context for the rural expansion of the region. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of family-named landmarks, including Cooper Cemetery and Morris Cemetery, which anchor the map’s historical record.
