About this map

The community of Wrightsboro serves as the focal point of this McDuffie County landscape, which underwent significant documentation and revision during the 1970s and 1980s. The northeastern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the reaching fingers of Clarks Hill Lake, with much of the surrounding shoreline preserved as the Clarks Hill Wildlife Management Area. This confluence of water and woodland creates a distinct boundary against the agricultural and industrial areas to the south.

Local history is preserved in several rural landmarks, including Brinkley Chapel Cem and New Zion Hill Ch Cem. The southern reach of the map shows a shift toward industry and recreation, featuring the Thomson-McDuffie County Airport alongside the Belle Meade Country Club. Unique geological features like Cedar Rock and a large Quarry near a Tailings Pond indicate the area's diverse land use, from natural conservation to mineral extraction.
