About this map

Wesleyan College and its surrounding residential developments anchor the southwestern portion of this 2014 survey, illustrating the suburban expansion of Macon into northern Bibb County. The landscape is a transition from established neighborhoods like Wesleyan Hills and Glenwood Forest to the more rural stretches across the Ocmulgee River in Jones and Monroe counties. Significant genealogical landmarks are scattered throughout the area, including Damascus Cem, Salem Cem, and Humphries Cem, which remain as markers of the area's earlier rural communities.

Along the river, historical river crossings such as Toms Ford and Toms Shoals are visible, while the industrial and transportation corridor is marked by the presence of Arkwright. The network of small waterways, such as Tobler Creek and Beaverdam Cr, cuts through the topography, feeding into the Ocmulgee and defining the boundaries of modern subdivisions and older estates like Whitehouse Plantation.
