About this map

The Oconee River meanders through Washington County, defining the western landscape of this Georgia quadrangle. The namesake settlement of Oconee sits near the riverbanks, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads such as Ohoopee Church Rd and Cox Town Rd. Nearby, the community of Gardner is situated along the river's eastern bend, while the settlement of Veal occupies the southern reaches of the map.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Antioch Cemetery, Woods Cemetery, and Martin Cemetery. The presence of several distinct ponds, such as Herds Pond and Fuqua Pond, along with numerous named branches like Briley Branch, indicates a well-watered agricultural and timber environment. Significant infrastructure like the Balls Ferry Bridge provides critical passage over the Oconee, marking a vital historical crossing point in the region's transportation history.
