2011 Map of Ola

About this map

Ola serves as the central hub of this Georgia landscape, where rural residential development began to interface with the county's established agricultural character. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Tussahaw Creek, Walnut Creek, and Peeksville Creek, many of which have been dammed to create local landmarks like Boyds Lake and Lake Dow. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, from the Old Sharon Cemetery in the north to the Old Mount Bethel Cemetery near the eastern edge. This 2011 survey captures the area just as suburban expansion moved into the reaches of Peeksville and Unity Grove, while still maintaining its small-town infrastructure, exemplified by the local Zips Airport and historic crossings like Double Bridges and Butler Bridge.
