About this map

The city of Macon and its sprawling western suburbs are documented in this 2014 survey, highlighting a landscape defined by significant educational institutions and historic burial grounds. The Ocmulgee River curves through the northeast, spanned by the William L Stribling Bridge, while the Central of Georgia railroad lines indicate the area's long-standing industrial importance. The map reveals a dense network of neighborhoods including Unionville, Bellevue, and Payne, alongside prominent academic campuses such as Wesleyan Coll, Mercer Univ, and Macon State Coll.

Genealogists will find the clustering of cemeteries particularly notable, including the expansive Rose Hill Cem and Riverside Cem near the river, as well as Oakridge Cem, Linwood Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The southern portion of the map transitions to the drainage basins of Tobesofkee Cr and Rocky Creek, where landmarks like Sikes Lake and Bankston Lake reflect the hydrological character of the Georgia Piedmont.
