About this map

Sunset Village and the surrounding hill country of Upson County are defined by a network of small family settlements and rural landmarks. The landscape is dotted with ancestral markers such as McCrary Settlement and Jones Settlement in the north, while the southern reaches follow the path of the Flint River near Pasley Shoals. Local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds and spiritual centers that anchor these communities, including Hendricks Cem, Friendship Cem, and Smyrna Church.

The geography transitions from the elevations of Pine Mtn and Salter Mtn to the water-rich lowlands of Lake Ellerbee Number 1 and Daniel Lake. Notable local industry and infrastructure from previous generations are evidenced by the site of Lawrences Mill and the junction at Hickman Forks. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the region, where named springs like Barker Spring and Thundering Spring remain significant landmarks in the local terrain.
