says there is a town named Lake Creek in Polk County today. That doesn't mean it was there in your grandfather's time. Georgia has 6 towns named "Lakeside" today, according to the same data base, which will tell you how common it was to name towns "Lake something" in Georgia. That in turn warns you that there may have been other towns or townships named Lake Creek.
