About this map

Bostwick and Fairplay anchor this rural landscape along the Walton and Morgan County line. The topography is defined by the headwaters of Hard Labor Creek and the meandering Apalachee River to the east. This 2017 survey reveals a deeply rooted agrarian community, marked by numerous family and church burial grounds such as Gresham Grove Baptist Church Cem and Chestnut Grove Cem.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, from the significant expanse of Lake Rutledge in the south to smaller impoundments like Mooney Lake and Lake Brantley. The road network, featuring names like Barton Bridge Rd and Fambrough Bridge Rd, highlights the historical importance of creek crossings such as Fambro Bridge. In the northern section, Taylor Field and the community of Ebenezer sit among the many branches of Big Sandy Creek, illustrating the area's transition between rolling hills and river bottomlands.
