2020 Map of Penfield

About this map

Penfield and Woodville anchor this corner of Greene County, where the transition from agriculture to protected timberland is evident. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Oconee National Forest, featuring the recreation-focused Town Creek Loop A and Town Creek Loop B alongside the Town Creek Trl. The landscape is defined by a series of family-named cemeteries that reflect generations of local settlement, including the Moore Cem, Janes Cem, and Finley Cem. Watercourses like McWhorter Cr and Fishing Cr wind through the hills, connecting the smaller hamlets. To the north, Maxeys sits at the edge of Oglethorpe County, connected by a network of rural routes such as Watson Springs Rd and Macedonia Rd. The density of burial sites, such as the Shiloh Baptist Church Cem, provides a significant map of the community’s ancestral footprint across these woods and creek bottoms.
