2011 Map of Napier Pond

About this map

Mount Pleasant anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, characterized by a complex network of small lakes and agricultural cemeteries in Baldwin County. Significant institutional presence is evident near the northern border, where Georgia State Hospital Lake West and Georgia State Hospital Lake are located alongside several specialized forestry and hospital ponds. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, such as the Price-council-Carr Cemetery and Mount Nebo Cemetery. The hydrography of the region is defined by the winding Oconee River and numerous tributaries like Little Black Creek and Commissioner Creek. Notable elevations include Hillhouse Hill, while old transportation routes are represented by Johns Bridge, which crosses over the waters of Black Creek. These features suggest a long history of settlement and local land use, from early churchyards like the Mount Pleasant Baptist Churchyard to modern water management infrastructure.
