About this map

The Oconee River defines the western edge of this landscape, its serpentine channel forming the winding boundary between Montgomery and Wheeler counties. To the east, the Central of Georgia corridor anchors the community of Uvalda, where the rail line meets a network of local roads. This survey, based on 1969 photography with 1980s updates, captures a rural Georgia district transitioning from early industrial sites like McAllister Mill to a landscape of scattered family farms and quiet crossroads.

Local history is preserved in a dense concentration of rural landmarks, including the small settlement of Charlotteville and several country churches such as St Johns Ch and New Hope Ch. Genealogists will find a wealth of named family burial grounds, including the McGregor Cem, Walker Cem, and Dead River Cem, which sit alongside distinctive water features like Rose Dew Lake and the marshy expanses of Long Pond.
