2024 Map of Rockville

About this map

Rockville sits at the heart of this landscape, where the waters of the Oconee and Little Rivers were transformed by mid-century engineering into the extensive reservoirs of Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural land use to a waterfront-oriented topography, particularly evident near Shagbark Point and the residential clusters along Oconee Springs Rd SE. Small family burial grounds, including the Little Hudson Family Cem and Clayton Bonner Family Cem, remain as quiet witnesses to the area's rural ancestry before the inundation of the river valleys. A complex network of creeks like Rush Creek, Log Dam Creek, and Sandy Run continue to drain the surrounding hills, feeding the lakes that now dominate the southern Putnam and Hancock county lines. The presence of Grabel Shoals serves as a reminder of the original river's character before the dams changed the flow of these Georgia waterways.
