2014 Map of Oconee

About this map

The Oconee River carves a winding path along the western boundary of Washington County, defining the rural landscape of central Georgia as it appeared in the early 21st century. This region is characterized by its numerous small burial grounds and rural settlements, including Oconee and Gardner. The network of local roads such as Ohoopee Church Rd and Avant Cemetery Rd connects dispersed family and church-affiliated cemeteries like Antioch Cem and Bay Branch Cem. Historical industrial footprints are visible through labels like Kaolin Ln, reflecting the importance of kaolin mining in this geological belt. Water remains a central feature of the terrain, from Balls Ferry Bridge crossing Oochee Cr to the numerous smaller drainages like Little Sandy Hill Cr and Mikes Mill Cr that feed into the larger river system.
