2017 Map of Rock Eagle Lake

About this map

The rolling Piedmont landscape of Putnam and Morgan Counties is defined here by the headwaters of the Little River and the sprawling woodlands of the Oconee National Forest. This 2017 survey details a rural region where agriculture and managed forest lands meet, centered on the historic community of Godfrey and the intersection at Reids Crossroads. Water management is a visible priority across the terrain, evidenced by numerous man-made bodies including Rock Eagle Lake, Georgia Experiment Station Lake, and Experiment Lake Number One. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several important family and community landmarks, such as the Springfield Baptist Church Cem and the Shepherd Cem. The land is bisected by numerous rural routes like Seven Islands Rd and Bethany Church Rd, tracing the drainage patterns of Glady Cr and Big Indian Cr.
