About this map

Hawkinsville serves as the focal point of this survey, positioned at a critical crossing of the Ocmulgee River in central Georgia. The street grid is well-defined, featuring thoroughfares like Broad St and Commerce St, which center the town's commercial and civic life near the Armory and Pulaski Co Sch. Directly across the river, the settlement of Hartford connects via a bridge, highlighting the historical relationship between these two riverfront communities.

The surrounding landscape is characterized by a network of creeks and branches, including Jordan Creek and Limestone Creek, which drain into the Ocmulgee. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure and social life is scattered throughout the rural sections, from the Hawkinsville - Pulaski Co Airport and a Drive-in Theatre to several family-named cemeteries such as Simpson Cem and Powers Cem. The Southern railroad line cuts through the northeastern quadrant, marking the era's continued reliance on rail transport for the local economy.
