2024 Map of Baconton North

About this map

The Flint River carves a winding path through this agricultural landscape, marking the complex intersection of Dougherty, Baker, and Mitchell counties. This rural corridor is defined by its water sources, including numerous named springs such as Wilson Blue Spring, Berry Spring, and Miller Springs that feed into the river's basin. The terrain is characterized by river features like Goat Island and the prominent Horseshoe Bend, where the river's loop creates a distinct peninsula. Smaller communities and rural crossroads like Baconton, Putney, and DeWitt are connected by a network of local routes including Newton Rd and Colquitt Rd. For those tracing local family history, several small burial grounds are documented across the landscape, notably Hard Up Cem, Blue Springs Cem, and Davis Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogical research in this part of Georgia.
