About this map

The Little River meanders across the southern portion of this Wilkes County landscape, marking the boundary with Taliaferro County. Near the western edge of the city of Washington, the terrain transitions from the developed streets of Jackson St and Peachtree St to a rolling countryside defined by agricultural patterns and local water sources like the City of Washington Reservoir. The area is dotted with small rural nodes and family burial grounds, including Bethel Cem, Simpson Cem, and Mercer Cem, which serve as quiet markers of local history.

Transportation routes like Greensboro Rd and Skull Shoals Rd connect the outlying settlements of Tyrone and Ficklin. Further south, Edwards Lake and the various branches of Kettle Creek provide significant landmarks for those studying the natural drainage of the region. This 2020 edition provides a clear picture of how modern infrastructure and traditional land use coexist in this corner of Georgia, preserving the names of long-standing family roads such as Gold Mine Rd and Maxwell Mill Rd.
