1978 Map of Resseaus Crossroads

About this map

Oconee National Forest encompasses much of the northern landscape in this mid-1980s photorevised survey, where the rolling woodland meets the rising waters of Lake Sinclair. The settlement at Resseaus Crossroads serves as a central point for the community, flanked by numerous rural sanctuaries including Pierce Chapel Ch and Bethlehem Ch. To the south, the village of Ethridge sits near the winding paths of Little Cedar Creek and Potato Creek, illustrating the area's transition from forest to managed river basin. The map documents the intricate boundary lines where Putnam Co, Jones Co, and Baldwin Co converge. Significant local history is found in the distribution of family-named water features like Baker Br and Hitchcock Branch, alongside the Sinclair Lake Recreation Area which highlights the region's developing utility as a recreational destination during the late 20th century.
