2011 Map of Sandy Cross

About this map

Sandy Cross and Point Peter anchor this rural Georgia landscape, characterized by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and agricultural water management systems. The terrain is defined by the tributaries of the Broad River, including Grove Creek, Beaver Creek, and Indian Creek, which are interrupted by structures like the South Fork Broad River Number One Dam. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds such as the Jarrell-Howard Cemetery, Paul and Lester Cemetery, and McCannon Cemetery. The presence of Echols Mill on Millstone Creek suggests the enduring footprint of local industry near the intersection of S Point Peter Rd and County Rd-285. The drainage patterns of Troublesome Creek and Macks Creek further illustrate the area's complex hydrology as it existed in the early 21st century.
