About this map

Hawkinsville serves as the focal point of this 1973 survey, situated along the western bank of the Ocmulgee River. The city's grid is well-defined by central arteries like Broad St and Commerce St, where the local Post Office and Hospital are established. To the east, across the river, lies Hartford, connected by a bridge that bridges the gap between the urban center and the Hawkinsville Airport.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds in the area, including Orange Hill Cem and Pine Bloom Cem. The landscape is etched by many waterways like Jordan Creek and Double Branch, reflecting the agricultural and drainage patterns of Pulaski County. Educational landmarks such as Baker Academy and the Bozeman Jr High Sch indicate the community's development during this era, while the Southern railroad line highlights the importance of rail transport to the local economy.
