2017 Map of Roland

About this map

The Flint River carves a deep path through the borderlands of Talbot and Upson counties, creating a landscape defined by dramatic river features and isolated agricultural settlements. At Yellow Jacket Shoals, the water breaks over rocky terrain, passing significant river landmarks like Ivy Island, Noel Island, and the cluster known as Seven Islands. The upland areas are anchored by small communities such as Roland and Sunset Village, while the surrounding timberlands and ridges, including Pine Mtn and Oak Mtn, show a network of rural roads such as Adams Ferry Rd and Pobiddy Rd. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds well-documented across the quadrangle, from Grantland Cem in the north to Brown Cem and Adams Cem further south, offering a precise look at the historic settlement patterns of this river valley.
