About this map

Powelton serves as the primary community anchor in this region where Hancock, Warren, and Taliaferro counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Ogeechee River and its numerous tributaries, including Red-Lick Cr and Rocky-Comfort Cr. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites and landmarks, recording the deep-rooted presence of families like the Burnleys, Iveys, and Turners. Notable locations such as the Powelton Baptist Church Cem and the Henry-Burnley Family Cem provide specific points of interest for local history research.

Industrial and utility landmarks like the Barnett Lookout Tower stand near the Atlanta Hwy, while the drainage of Beaverdam Cr and Long Cr shapes the agricultural terrain. The map details a network of rural routes, from Powelton Rd to Ray Place Rd NE, which connect these scattered homesteads and private cemeteries, including the Ephraim Ivey Cem and George Turner Cem, to the larger reservoirs like Shivers Lake Number One.
