About this map

Knoxville and the neighboring community of Roberta serve as the primary hubs in this central Georgia landscape, where the Flint River marks the western boundary against Taylor County. The area is dense with family and community history, evidenced by a high concentration of burial sites such as the Old Knoxville Cem, Confederate Cem, and the Jordan Grove Cem. A significant historical landmark is found near the river: the Colonel Benjamin Hawkins Grave and the nearby Hawkins Bridge, honoring the 18th-century Indian Agent who established his homestead in this vicinity.

Agricultural land and small settlements like Gaillard, Hammett, and Horns are connected by a network of rural roads including Benjamin Hawkins Rd and Zenith Mill Rd. The terrain is defined by numerous watercourses feeding the Flint, such as Big Beech Cr and Culpepper Cr, while the Magnolia Swamp and Bell Lake indicate the low-lying, well-watered nature of the southern reaches. Modern local aviation is represented by Gentle Landings Air Park, situated north of the Pinegrove Cem.
