About this map

Shoulderbone and Howell Grove anchor this Hancock County landscape, where family heritage is deeply inscribed through numerous private burial grounds. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named sites, including the Green - Hudson Family Cem, Mosley Family Cem, and the tripartite Barnes - Rives - Warren Family Cem. These sites, along with the Amoss Family Cem, suggest long-standing land ownership patterns tied to the local agricultural economy.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, with Shoulderbone Creek and its tributary Little Shoulderbone Cr carving through the center of the quadrangle. Spiritual life is represented by several rural congregations, such as the Fairmont Baptist Church Cem and the Repairers of Breach Apostolic Faith Church Cem. To the south, Harley Lake and the Sikes Cr drainage provide a quiet contrast to the network of local routes like Old Eatonton Rd and Hunts Chapel Rd.
