2020 Map of Porterdale

About this map

Porterdale and the western edge of Covington anchor this 2020 landscape, where the Yellow River winds through central Newton County. The river's path is marked by distinctive natural features such as Cedar Shoals and Langston Shoals, illustrating the hydraulic character of the Piedmont region. The map reveals a suburbanizing landscape where older communities like Almon and Oxford are connected by modern thoroughfares like I-20 and Ga 81. For genealogists, several burial sites are documented across the quadrangle, including Shiloh Cem near the northern boundary and Middlebrooks Cem to the south. Smaller water bodies like Paradise Lake and Bailey Lake are interspersed among residential developments, while the Rockdale and Newton County line bisects the western portion of the map, providing a clear view of the jurisdictional boundaries in this rapidly evolving area east of Atlanta.
