2014 Map of Empire

About this map

Cochran sits at the northwestern edge of this survey, where the developing residential streetscape around Lake Linda gives way to the agricultural and timber lands of the Middle Georgia coastal plain. The landscape is defined by its complex county boundaries, where Bleckley, Pulaski, and Dodge counties converge. This intersection creates a corridor of small settlements and railway hamlets including Empire, Frazier, and Dubois following the path of Us-23. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history sites across these rural stretches, from Limestone Memorial Gardens near Baileys Park to the smaller, more isolated Simmons Cem and Robing Cem. The topography is subtly marked by the drainage of Brushy Cr and Mosquito Cr, which weave through the agricultural parcels and timber stands that dominate the southern half of the quadrangle.
