About this map

The rolling timberlands of the Oconee National Forest dominate this mid-century landscape where the borders of Jasper, Putnam, and Jones counties converge. The small settlement of Stanfordville sits in the northeast corner, while Goolsby anchors the western edge, connected by a network of unimproved roads and forest boundaries. The rural character of the area is underscored by its spiritual landmarks, including Mt Carmel Ch, Wesley Chapel, and Griggs Chapel, alongside the Union Hill Ch Cem.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Hillsboro Lake and its accompanying Hillsboro Lake Recreation Area providing a focal point for activity near the Uncle Remus Dist Headquarters. Tracing the numerous drainages like Cedar Creek, Glady Creek, and Rock Creek reveals a landscape managed for both resource extraction and conservation, evidenced by the presence of a Quarry and a strategically placed Lookout Tower for forest monitoring.
