1956 Map of Baconton

About this map

The Flint River carves a winding path through the heart of this southwest Georgia landscape, defining the borders between Baker, Dougherty, and Mitchell counties. This mid-century survey captures a network of rural communities and rail lines, including the Atlantic Coast Line and the Georgia Northern railroad. Small towns like Baconton and Sale City serve as local hubs, while the map reveals an extensive system of country churches and family burial grounds that anchor the rural social fabric.
