2014 Map of Chester

About this map

Chester serves as a primary hub in this rural landscape where the boundaries of Dodge, Bleckley, and Laurens counties converge. The 2014 landscape is defined by its agricultural and creek-bottom character, with several small named communities such as Goldsboro, Rowland, and Rebie punctuating the roadway network. Waterways like Buckhorn Cr and Gum Swamp Cr drain the terrain, while landmarks like Whitehall Airport indicate local infrastructure. Genealogists will find a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Walters Cem, Hinson Cem, and Mullis Cole Cem, which offer physical evidence of the area's long-standing family lineages and rural settlement patterns. The presence of Stitchihatchie Pond and Wynne Lake provides further insight into the local hydrography and land use at the center of Georgia's agricultural belt.
