About this map

Oconee National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape at the junction of Jones, Putnam, and Baldwin counties. The settlement pattern is defined by rural junctions such as Resseaus Crossroads and Ethridge, where local history is anchored by family-named landmarks like Key Cem and Stiles Cem. The terrain is deeply incised by a dense network of watercourses, including the southward-flowing Murder Creek and Little Cedar Cr, which feed into the western reaches of Lake Sinclair.

Transport routes like the Eatonton Hwy and Old Hwy 11 connect these scattered communities, while the presence of Upper Hawkins Lake and Lower Hawkins Lake suggests a landscape managed for both timber and water resources. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several smaller burial grounds, including the Humphries Cem, located near the southern boundary. This 2014 survey captures the area's transition from traditional timberland to a region punctuated by lakeside developments and forest preserves.
