About this map

Statham and Bogart serve as the primary anchors for this region where the boundaries of Barrow, Jackson, Clarke, Oconee, and Walton counties converge. The local economy and transportation network are defined by the CSX Transportation railroad line, which runs parallel to the Atlanta Hwy SE, connecting the small settlements and providing a corridor for growth between larger hubs. In the southern reaches of the map, the Apalachee River and Shoal Cr carve through the landscape, leading toward Lake Oconee.

Historic landmarks are scattered throughout the rural acreage, including the site of Caruthers Mill near Arch Bridge and the Carithers School. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for identifying family-named landmarks and local burial sites like Statham City Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Bethabara Cem. The area’s hydrology is dominated by numerous small reservoirs such as Dickens Lake and the Gasaway Lake Number Two, reflecting the agricultural and water management patterns of the modern era.
