2014 Map of Shady Dale

About this map

The Little River and its numerous tributaries, including Turkey Cr and Gap Cr, define the rural character of this intersection of Jasper, Morgan, and Putnam counties. Small, established communities like Machen, Pennington, and Godfrey are connected by a network of historic roads such as Monticello Rd and Godfrey Rd. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and protected woodland, with the southern portion of the map transitioning into the Oconee National Forest. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Providence Cem and Hearnville Cem. Notable water bodies like McComb Lake and Vason Lake sit alongside historical crossings like Mobley Bridge, illustrating the long-standing relationship between these Piedmont settlements and their local water sources.
