2020 Map of Baconton North

About this map

The Flint River defines the landscape as it winds south through the borderlands of Dougherty, Baker, and Mitchell counties. This reach of the river is characterized by several distinctive water features and islands, including Wilson Blue Spring, Blue Hole Spring, and Buzzard Roost Island. The settlement pattern is concentrated along the river corridor and the transit lines running parallel to it, notably through the communities of DeWitt and Baconton. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Hard Up Cem and Blue Springs Cem, which sit among a network of agricultural roads and pecan groves. Notable river landmarks like Horseshoe Bend and Cowan Shoals illustrate the waterway's complex geography before it continues its course toward the Gulf. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure connecting small Georgia settlements at the start of the 2020s.
