About this map

Oconee National Forest defines the western and central reaches of this landscape, where the border between Oglethorpe and Greene counties follows the high ground. The settlement of Penfield serves as a local anchor, connected to the surrounding countryside by a network of rural roads such as Penfield Rd and Woodville Rd. Further north, Maxeys sits near the county line, marking a pocket of development amidst the dense drainage networks of Fishing Cr and Sandy Creek.

Family history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial sites, including Macedonia Cem, Moore Cem, and Janes Cem. These cemeteries, often located along backroads like Conger Rd or near watercourses like McWhorter Cr, point to generations of rural residency before the consolidation of local forests. The terrain is a complex web of creek bottoms, with Town Cr and Beaverdam Cr carving distinct valleys through the southern half of the quadrangle.
