About this map

Sunset Village and the surrounding Upson County countryside are defined by a network of small family settlements and agricultural infrastructure as they appeared in 2011. The landscape is dotted with ancestral markers such as the McCrary Settlement and Jones Settlement to the north, while local heritage is preserved at Friendship Cemetery, Hendricks Cemetery, and Fellowship Cemetery. The presence of Lawrences Mill on Elkins Creek and the King Mountain Fish Hatchery indicates a long-standing relationship between the community and its water resources.

Water management is central to this area, evidenced by numerous man-made features including Lake Ellerbee Number 1, Franklin Lake, and Daniel Lake. Elevated terrain features like Salter Mountain, topped by the Crest Lookout Tower, and Bull Trail Mountain provide a vertical contrast to the drainages of Womble Creek and the Flint River. This survey captures a mix of rural life and organized recreation, from the grounds of Camp Thunder to the clustered homes at Ellerbeetown and Hickman Forks.
