About this map

The Flint River carves a winding path through the border of Talbot and Upson counties, creating a landscape of prominent ridges and named shoals. Significant river features like Sprewell Bluff and Yellow Jacket Shoals define the waterway's character, while numerous islands including Owens Island and Gibson Island dot the channel. The area's settlement pattern is largely rural, anchored by the community of Roland and the residential layout of Sunset Village.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family and community burial grounds throughout the terrain, such as Flint River Cem, Nelson Cem, and Grantland Cem. The local infrastructure is marked by crossings like Wynns Bridge and a network of secondary roads including Adams Ferry Rd and Pobiddy Rd. The terrain is shaped by distinct elevations like Pine Mtn and Oak Mtn, which parallel the river's course.
