In the record
Royce’s schedule records 17 cessions that lie at least partly in Georgia, from 1790 to 1835, under 12 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Muscogee (Creek) and Cherokee.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.
Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
