2020 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington serves as the focal point of this Newton County landscape, situated where modern development meets the historic agricultural roots of the Georgia Piedmont. The town's layout is anchored by the Newton County Judicial Center and Covington City Cem, while the CSX railroad corridor traces the transition from the municipal center to the outlying rural settlements. To the south and east, the Alcovy River and its tributaries, including Wrights Cr and Hurricane Cr, carve a winding path through the terrain. This topography reveals a deep-seated community history preserved in numerous burial grounds and small hamlets like Starrsville and Dixie. Genealogists may find value in the specific placement of the Confederate Soldiers Cem in nearby Oxford, and the various family-named landmarks like the Adams Cem and Rakestraw Cem that dot the countryside between small private airfields like Windy Hill Airport.
