The Battle of Kettle Creek took place in the north-central region of Georgia, near the border of South Carolina. Specifically, it occurred in Wilkes County, which was one of the original seven counties established in the state of Georgia. This area was heavily forested and sparsely settled at the time, providing a strategic location for both the American rebels and the British loyalists. Kettle Creek itself, a small tributary of the Savannah River, was where the battle unfolded, leading to a decisive victory for the American forces.
