About this map

Jackson Lake and its intricate series of peninsulas dominate this landscape where the boundaries of Newton, Jasper, and Butts Counties meet. Named points such as Parker Neck, Price Neck, and Hardy Neck extend into the reservoir, revealing a topography shaped by the impoundment of the Alcovy River. The map is particularly notable for its density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Cem, Heard Cem, and Pickett Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research in this part of rural Georgia.

Along the northern reaches of the river, features like Factory Shoals and White Shoals indicate the natural riverbed's character before reaching the wider lake waters. Small settlements such as Stewart and Hardys Crossroads anchor the road network, while the label for Newton Factory Cem hints at the industrial history that once centered on the river's power. The landscape is a mix of wooded ridges and creek drainages, from Whitehead Creek in the north to Herds Creek in the south.
