2011 Map of Baker Hill

About this map

Baker Hill anchors this rural Barbour County landscape, characterized by the sharp rise of the Baker Hill Cuesta and a dense network of creek branches. The area is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including the Sardis Cemetery and New Hope Cemetery. Water is a defining feature of the topography, with the East Fork Choctawhatchee River and its many tributaries, such as Sally Hole Branch and Wilson Branch, carving through the terrain. Small, established settlements like Gaino, Sandy Point, and the evocatively named Peggy Bottom reflect a pattern of localized rural centers. The map also records industrial and agricultural water management at Williams Millpond, while the Baker Hill Post Office serves as the central hub for the surrounding community and its scattered farmsteads.
