About this map

The boundary between Baldwin Co and Wilkinson Co cuts through this landscape of the upper Coastal Plain, where small ponds and winding creeks define the local geography. Significant water features include Napier Pond, Hollinshead Pond, and the Oconee River, which flows along the northeastern corner near Dead River and Long Lake. This area is particularly dense with small family and church cemeteries, providing a detailed record of local genealogy through sites such as the Price-Council-Carr Cem, Nunn-Wheeler Cem, and Byington Cem.

Central to the road network is Johns Bridge, which crosses Black Creek, while the northwestern portion contains several institutional water bodies associated with the state, such as Georgia State Hospital Lake and Hospital Lake Number One. The terrain is marked by distinctive rises like Hillhouse Hill, overlooking a complex network of tributaries including Laurel Branch and Bull Branch. This survey provides a modern view of rural Georgia's interior, where historical church locations like Mount Pleasant Baptist Cem and Snow Hill Methodist Cem remain key landmarks.
