2017 Map of Commerce

About this map

Commerce serves as a central hub in this Jackson County landscape, where the convergence of major corridors like the Steve Reynolds Industrial Pkwy and Homer Rd reflects modern commercial development alongside deep-rooted community foundations. The map reveals an area defined by its water and ancestry, from the winding path of the North Oconee River and Turkey Cr to the numerous family and church burial grounds that dot the rural outskirts. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locations including Harmony Cem, Mount Bethel Cem, and Cabin Creek Cem. The transition from the urban grid of Commerce to the outlying community of Five Points highlights a pattern of growth that follows traditional ridge lines and creek valleys, while public spaces like Jackson Memorial Park and Doug Bolton Field mark the local social geography.
