About this map

The Alcovy River and Jackson Lake dominate this landscape on the border of Newton, Jasper, and Butts Counties. The topography reveals an intricate network of peninsulas and coves along the northern reach of the lake, including Hardy Neck, Parker Neck, and Kitchen Neck. The presence of Factory Shoals and White Shoals north of the reservoir indicates the river's earlier industrial potential, anchored by the settlement of Newton Factory and its nearby Newton Factory Cem.

Evidence of rural community life is scattered throughout the hills, from the Heard-Mizpah Sch to several country churches like Red Oak Ch and Pleasant View Ch. Local history is further marked by family-named landmarks such as Dows Pulpit Historical Rock and the Barney J Webber Lookout Tower. The map also captures specialized land uses, including the Boy Scout Camp and the FFA and FHA Camp situated along the water's edge.
