About this map

The Macon urban center and the sprawling installation at Robins AFB anchor the northwestern portion of this mid-century Georgia survey. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of the Ocmulgee River and Oconee River, which flow southeast toward their eventual confluence. A dense network of smaller towns such as Dublin, Sandersville, and Vidalia are connected by a mature web of federal highways including Us 80 and Us 41.

Railroad corridors like the Central of Georgia and the Seaboard Air Line remain central to the region's economy, cutting through the timberlands of the George Walton Experimental Forest and the Governor Troup Natural Resources Reservation. This 1:250,000 scale perspective highlights the transition from the industrial and military hubs of Bibb and Houston counties into the agricultural and forestry heartlands of central Georgia.
