2020 Map of Homerville West

About this map

Homerville serves as the primary hub in this Georgia landscape, situated alongside the Homerville Airport. The surrounding terrain of Clinch County is defined by its low-lying hydrology, featuring numerous named "bays" or swampy depressions such as Whitehead Bay, Bear Bay, and Useless Bay. These wetlands are interconnected by small waterways like Woodyard Cr and Jones Creek, which feed into local features like the Dickerson Millpond. The settlement patterns here remain tied to the area's history of naval stores and timber, evidenced by the place names Eightmile Still and Fivemile Still along the rural road network. Several local burial grounds, including Pine Forest Cem, Holmes Chapel Cem, and North Cem, provide significant landmarks for genealogical research. The infrastructure is characterized by a mix of established routes like Arabia Courthouse Rd and more recently named developments like Whisperwood, illustrating the gradual expansion of the community outward from the town center.
