About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a sweeping path through this part of Carroll County, defining the local topography and historical settlement patterns around Whitesburg. This 2011 survey highlights a predominantly rural landscape where community identity is anchored by small settlements like Yates and Handy, and a dense network of country burial grounds. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community sites, including Ephesus Cemetery, Shiloh Cemetery, and New Lebanon Cemetery.

The area is crisscrossed by roads that reveal local history through their nomenclature, such as Wagers Mill Rd and Ephesus Church Rd. Water resources are abundant, with numerous tributaries like Wahoo Creek, Moore Creek, and Acorn Creek feeding into the main river channel. Engineered features like the Kimbrough Lake Dam and various small impoundments such as Bridgehaven Lake and McKay Lake illustrate how the natural drainage has been managed for local use over generations.
