2020 Map of Dry Branch

About this map

Griswoldville and Dry Branch anchor this 2020 landscape where the borders of Bibb, Twiggs, Jones, and Wilkinson counties converge. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Big Sandy Cr and Wolf Cr, which create a complex network of wetlands and small ponds like Jolly Pond and Birdsong Pond. This modern survey reveals a deeply established rural cemetery network that includes Tharp Cem, Antioch Cem, and Nelson Cem, offering significant value for genealogists tracing family roots in Middle Georgia. The presence of Myricks Mill in the eastern section and the crossing of the Fall Line Fwy indicate how historic water-powered industry has given way to modern regional transportation corridors. Scattered family settlements are evident through roads like Kitchens Rd and Rawlins Rd, which connect these small communities through the creek-dissected hillsides of the Macon-Bibb County line.
