About this map

Strip mining operations and open pit excavations mark the landscape of this Washington County region, particularly around Hebron in the west. These industrial sites contrast with the traditional rural network of family-named landmarks and country churches that define the local geography. Significant water features like Buffalo Creek and Keg Creek drain the terrain, which is dotted with numerous small impoundments such as Doolittle Pond and Cochran Pond.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites and small congregations, including Brook Cem, Forbes Cem, and Moye Cem, alongside the Jordan Station Ch and Swint Spring Ch. The area around the settlement of Tabernacle is characterized by its creek-bound valleys and the Central Hill topographic feature. This survey, updated with 1980s data, illustrates the persistence of these small communities and rural roads like Eighty Five Road and Oconee Road.
