2020 Map of Roberta

About this map

Flint River bottomlands and the swampy lowlands of Magnolia Swamp dominate the southern portion of this region, where the Taylor and Crawford county lines meet. The cultural landscape is anchored by the city of Roberta, located at a significant highway junction in the northeast. This map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries and family burial grounds, such as Flowers Family Cem and the Old Knoxville Cem, providing a detailed record of local genealogy. A unique historical landmark is found near the river: the Colonel Benjamin Hawkins Grave, located just east of Hawkins Bridge. This site honors the U.S. Indian Agent whose presence shaped the early 19th-century history of the area. Away from the river, the terrain rises into upland areas dotted with small communities like Hammett and Gaillard, and modern aviation facilities such as Gentle Landings Air Park.
