2017 Map of Montezuma

About this map

Montezuma and Oglethorpe anchor this central Georgia landscape along the banks of the Flint River, where the towns face each other across the water. The regional geography is defined by significant wetlands and water bodies, including Whitewater Cr, Chase Lake, and the sprawling Whitewater Pond. The CSX railroad corridor cuts through both municipalities, reflecting the area's continued reliance on rail transport for its agricultural and industrial base. Notable landmarks for local historians include several burial grounds such as Oglethorpe Cem, Felton Cem, and the Travelers Rest Cem near Spring Creek Pond. Beyond the main settlements, the map shows smaller locales like Bartlett and Cutoff, and specialized facilities like the Dr C P Savage Sr Airport east of the river. The road network, including the Oglethorpe-Montezuma Byp, illustrates modern attempts to manage traffic around these established river towns.
