2024 Map of Redbud

About this map

The Coosawattee River winds through this portion of Gordon County, defining a landscape historically reliant on river crossings. The map identifies several significant river landmarks, including Shackleford Ferry, Fields Ferry, and Pulliams Ferry, illustrating a period before modern bridge infrastructure replaced these vital local connections. Small agricultural and residential hubs such as Redbud, Fidelle, and the oddly named Crane Eater anchor the rural road network, while the rugged Red Bone Ridges rise in the southeast. Genealogists will find value in the documentation of several family and community sites, from the McEntire Cem near the river to the Bethesda Church and Haven of Rest Memorial Park Cem further south. The convergence of Salacoa Creek and Lick Creek adds to the complex drainage pattern that has shaped settlement here for generations.
