About this map

Sandy Cross and Point Peter serve as central points for this rural Oglethorpe County landscape during the early 1970s. The region is defined by a dense network of spiritual and social hubs, including Clouds Creek Ch, Mt Pleasant Ch, and St Pauls Ch. A concentration of granite production is evident in the northeast near Point Peter, where several Quarries and a standalone Quarry indicate the local extractive industry.

Waterways like Millstone Creek and Grove Creek carve through the terrain, influencing the placement of early homesteads and road crossings. Toward the southern edge, the map reaches the outskirts of Lexington, showing the High Sch and County Sch that supported the surrounding farming communities. This survey is particularly notable for its inclusion of numerous unmarked Cem locations and the Glade Churches Cem, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing family footprints in this portion of Georgia.
