About this map

The city of Sandersville and its neighbor to the south, Tennille, anchor this topographic study of central Washington County. This landscape is defined by the significant presence of the clay industry, most notably at the Kaolin Field and the extensive Thiele Kaolin Mining Company Lake. These industrial features sit alongside a network of family-named ponds and small lakes, including Harrison Pond, Taylor Lake, and Political Pond, showing how the local hydrology was adapted for both extraction and community use.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense distribution of burial grounds, such as Sandersville City Cemetery, Sinquefield Cemetery, and the Piney Mount Cemetery further south. The drainage patterns are dominated by Limestone Creek and the Ohoopee River, with numerous branches like Gin Branch and Dyers Creek feeding into the river system. The road network, including Tennille Harrison Rd and Old Savannah Rd, illustrates the historically significant transit corridors connecting these agricultural and industrial hubs.
