About this map

Shoulderbone and Howell Grove occupy a landscape deeply etched by the drainage networks of Shoulderbone Creek and Beaverdam Cr. This area of Hancock County is notable for its high density of small family burial grounds, such as the Green-Hudson Family Cem, Mosley Family Cem, and Amoss Family Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for those tracing local lineages.

Transitioning from the dense network of creeks toward the southwest, the terrain meets the eastern reaches of Lake Sinclair and the smaller Dickens Lake. Cultural landmarks are centered around rural congregations, including the Mt Zion Methodist Church Cem and Fairmont Baptist Church Cem. The road network is dominated by state routes Ga-16 and Ga-77, which cross the undulating topography that feeds into the Buffalo Cr system.
