2014 Map of Homer

About this map

Homer and the surrounding Georgia landscape are defined by the convergence of agricultural roots and modern transit corridors in the early 21st century. The Hudson River meanders through the central terrain, bordered by numerous family and community landmarks such as McDonald Cem and the New Salem Covered Bridge. This area, situated along the border of Banks, Franklin, and Jackson Counties, shows a distinct transition from the older settlements of Mount Pleasant and Jewelville to the commercial development at Banks Crossing. Historic transportation routes like the Historic Homer Hwy run parallel to contemporary infrastructure, while names like Pottery Rd and Rattle Trap Rd reflect the local heritage. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites, including Webbs Creek Cem and Beaverdam Cem, scattered across the undulating creek valleys of Nails Creek and Webb Cr.
