About this map

The town of Preston serves as the focal point of this Webster County landscape, situated at the intersection of several key regional routes including Ga-41 and Ga-27. The drainage pattern of the area is defined by the winding course of Kinchafoonee Cr and its various tributaries such as Harrel Mill Cr and Mud Cr. These waterways are punctuated by several small impoundments, including Kennedy Lake, Lake Doris, and Wilson Lake, which suggest a long history of local water management for agriculture or recreation.

For those researching family history in the region, the map identifies several rural burial sites, including Preston Cem, Poplar Springs Cem, New Hope Cem, and Askew Cem. The road network, composed of numerous numbered county roads like Co Road 80 and named ways like Enterprise Church RD, provides a clear view of the rural property divisions and settlement patterns that have persisted into the twenty-first century.
