2017 Map of Worthville

About this map

South River and the Yellow River wind through this corner of the Georgia Piedmont, forming a critical drainage network where Newton, Henry, and Butts counties meet. The landscape is defined by its watercourses and the small, historic crossroads that serve the surrounding agricultural and residential lands. The community of Fincherville sits centrally, while Worthville and Allen Shoals anchor the southern and eastern reaches near the northern tip of Jackson Lake. Many local family names and early rural infrastructure are preserved through landmarks such as Manns Bridge and Stewart Bridge, which provide vital crossings over the shifting creeks and rivers. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the area, including Snapping Shoals Cem, Fairview Cem, and Davis Cem, each reflecting the established settlement patterns of these three counties.
