2024 Map of Millen

About this map

Millen serves as the focal point of this Jenkins County landscape, anchored by the Jenkins County Courthouse and a transportation network defined by the Central of Georgia Ave rail corridor. The town sits at a geographic crossroads where several significant waterways converge, including Buckhead Creek and Little Buckhead Creek, which wind through the terrain before meeting the Ogeechee River to the south. The surrounding countryside is dotted with established landmarks that speak to the area's long-standing community roots, such as the Little Buckhead Cem north of town and Lane Cem near the settlement of Emmalane. To the northeast, the topography rises toward Sandy Ridge and Honey Ridge, while the southern reaches are marked by the prominence of Paramore Hill. The map detail captures a transition between the organized street grid of the county seat and the outlying rural reaches like Lawton, providing a clear view of how the local economy follows the lines of the river and rail.
