2024 Map of Smithboro

About this map

Murder Creek and its many tributaries, including Shoal Creek and White Oak Creek, define the drainage patterns of this central Georgia landscape. The map highlights the rural settlement of Smithboro and the community of Aikenton to the north, connected by a network of local routes like Rock Eagle Rd and Bullard Rd. To the east, the boundary of the Oconee National Forest marks a transition into protected woodlands, where Beaverdam Creek flows through the timber. The terrain is deeply dissected by the water system, notably the North Fork Wolf Creek and South Fork Wolf Creek, which create a complex series of ridges and valleys. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of Jasper and Putnam counties, showing the persistence of traditional crossroads even as modern forestry and conservation efforts shape the local land use.
