About this map

Sharon and Barnett anchor this rural landscape in the eastern Georgia Piedmont, where a dense network of family and community burial grounds reflects generations of local settlement. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Harden Creek, Beaverdam Creek, and Kendrick Creek, which carve through the countryside between small crossroads like Raytown and Hillman.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points here, including family-named sites such as Saggus-Lyle Cemetery, Stephens-Alexander Cemetery, and the Harris-McGinty Cemetery. The map captures a transition where traditional country roads like Sandy Cross Rd NE and Warrenton Rd SE connect these isolated pockets of history. From the banks of the Little River in the north to Williams Creek in the south, this survey provides a clear view of the land's character before modern suburbanization altered the rural layout.
