About this map

The Ocmulgee River snakes through this portion of Bibb County, defining a landscape where residential expansion meets old river crossings and industrial sites. Near the northern boundary, Popes Ferry and Toms Ford mark historic points of transit across the water, while Toms Shoals indicates the river's natural character before reaching the more developed southern reaches. The industrial presence at Macon Quarry and the settlement at Arkwright highlight the economic activity adjacent to the river corridor.

Suburban growth is evident in the numerous named residential developments such as Wesleyan Hills, Stratford Oaks, and North Forest Hills. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, including Sardis Cemetery, Salem Cemetery, and Gordon Cemetery. Large tracts like the Whitehouse Plantation and recreational spaces like Riverside Park show the varied land use in this Georgia Piedmont region during the early twenty-first century.
