About this map

Jackson Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Georgia quadrangle, where residential developments like Turtles Cove, Alcovy Shores, and Lakeside Grove line the irregular shoreline. The Alcovy River and Rocky Creek feed this reservoir, passing through terrain marked by natural features such as Factory Shoals and White Shoals. To the north, the geography shifts from lakefront properties to a rural network of family-named cemeteries and crossroads, including Heard Cemetery, Pickett Cemetery, and Hardys Crossroads.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, from the Newton Factory Cemetery near the river to the New Rocky Creek Cemetery in the east. Local landmarks like the Jasper Lookout Tower and Waters Bridge highlight the infrastructure of the area, while smaller communities such as Stewart and Avalon anchor the northern reaches. The presence of Lake Bulow Campbell and Richardson Lake further illustrates the significance of water management and recreation in this part of Newton and Jasper counties.
