1974 Map of Baconton North

About this map

The Flint River carves a winding path through this agricultural landscape of southwestern Georgia, defining the borders between Dougherty, Baker, and Mitchell Counties. Along its banks, the river features distinct landmarks like Horseshoe Bend, Goat Island, and Red Bluff, while numerous groundwater sources such as Blue Hole Spring, Berry Spring, and Miller Springs indicate the region's unique hydrology. The eastern corridor is dominated by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which anchors the settlements of Putney, DeWitt, and Baconton.
