Culpepper Creek, In Crawford County, skirting Roberta on the
east, 20 miles southwest of Macon. The creek is crossed by US-80, US-341, and GA-42.
It was probably named for or by Isaiah Culpepper (#4901) who
purchased a significant amount of land in Crawford County during the
1830's. |
|
Eleven miles further south on US341, starting at Fort Valley, is the
George B. Culpepper Highway (See Peach
County). |
