About this map

Bostwick and Rutledge anchor the northern and southern reaches of this landscape, separated by a rolling network of small streams and community landmarks. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by Hard Labor Creek State Park, featuring Lake Rutledge and several specialized facilities like Camp Daniel Morgan and Camp Rutledge. The area’s agrarian roots are evidenced by the numerous country churches and cemeteries that define local social geography, including Gibbs Memorial Ch and Gresham Grove Ch.

A network of local branches including Little Sandy Creek, Turkey Creek, and Green Branch carve through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns into Hard Labor Creek. The boundary between Walton Co and Morgan Co bisects the western half of the map, passing near small crossroads such as Fairplay and Ebenezer. This 1970s survey captures a rural Georgia landscape where established family-named landmarks like Mountain Hill coexist with developing recreational infrastructure.
