2017 Map of Gay

About this map

The Flint River carves a prominent boundary between Meriwether and Pike counties, anchoring a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and historic family landmarks. This 2017 survey shows the enduring rural character of central Georgia, where the Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge stands as a significant architectural survivor near Edman. The geography is dotted with family-named burial grounds like Red Oak Cem and BaughanStrozier Cem, providing essential leads for genealogical research. Communities such as Gay and Imlac are connected by a network of local roads including Luthersville Rd and Greenville St. Water features like Jones Millpond and Little Creek suggest a long history of local water power and agricultural use, while the rocky terrain at Flat Shoals provides a distinct change in the river's character. Significant structures like the David Knott Bridge further highlight the historical importance of river crossings in this region.
