2020 Map of Rockville

About this map

The waters of Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair dominate this portion of the Piedmont, where the borders of Putnam, Greene, and Hancock counties converge. The small settlement of Rockville sits as a central inland hub, surrounded by a complex network of creeks and branches including Rush Cr, Cattail Br, and Herndon Br. This modern survey reveals how local infrastructure has adapted to the jagged shorelines created by these reservoirs, with residential developments like those along Lake Crest Dr and Shagbark Point Dr appearing alongside older rural landscapes. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the preservation of small, family-owned burial grounds that persist amidst the newer subdivisions and shoreline properties. Notable landmarks such as Grabel Shoals and Basil Lake provide further context to the hydrological character of the area, while the naming of Log Dam Cr hints at earlier industrial or timber practices along the local waterways.
