2017 Map of Bainbridge

About this map

The Flint River defines the geography of this Decatur County seat, curving past Bainbridge and West Bainbridge before entering the northern reaches of Lake Seminole at Little Horseshoe Bend. The city's residential and commercial grid is dense with local history, including several significant burial grounds such as Oak City Cem and the Jonas Lobe Cem. To the east, Bainbridge Coll sits near Twin Lakes, while the surrounding landscape is marked by numerous water bodies like Lake Douglas and the meandering Big Slough. Transport and commerce are evidenced by the CSX railroad lines and a network of rural roads connecting outlying settlements like Lynn, Mount Pleasant, and Ausmac. The map details the transition from the concentrated urban center to the hydraulic landscape of ponds and sloughs that characterizes this part of Southwest Georgia.
