About this map

Rockville sits as a central settlement in this landscape of Georgia’s Piedmont, where the local economy and topography are defined by the expansive waters of Lake Oconee to the north and Lake Sinclair to the south. The area is characterized by a dense network of local roads and creek drainages, such as Rush Cr and Sandy Run, that feed into these major reservoirs.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family burial sites, including the Little-Hudson Family Cem and the Clayton-Bonner Family Cem, which speak to the deep-rooted local heritage of Putnam and Hancock Counties. The prominence of the Rockville Lookout Tower near Sparta Hwy highlights the importance of forest management in this region. This survey captures a moment where traditional land use and modern recreational developments along the lakefronts exist side-by-side.
