2024 Map of Stanfordville

About this map

The Oconee National Forest covers much of this landscape where the borders of Jasper, Putnam, and Jones counties meet. This rural area is defined by its network of watercourses, including the central Cedar Creek and Glady Creek, which drain the timbered ridges and hollows. Small settlements like Goolsby and Stanfordville anchor the local road system, connected by routes such as Old Hillsboro Rd and Gov't Rd. Family names are deeply etched into the geography, visible in landmarks like the Fullerton Cem and several private reservoirs including Dumas Lake and Walker Laney Lake. The terrain is crisscrossed by forest service and county roads, reflecting a contemporary balance between private landholdings and federal forest management. For the local historian, the map preserves the exact placement of cemetery sites and rural junctions that have served these Piedmont communities for generations.
