About this map

The boundary between Coffee Co and Bacon Co cuts through a landscape defined by meandering creek systems and family-named landmarks. The settlement of Sessoms anchors the southern portion of the sheet, while Alma and the Bacon County Airport represent the more developed infrastructure to the east. The terrain is marked by significant wetlands and water bodies, including Whiddons Millpond and the complex drainage of Little Hurricane Cr and Brushy Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the rural countryside, from the Wesley Chapel Cem and Douglas Chapel Cem to smaller family plots like Meeks Cem and Patterson Cem. The settlement at Guysie sits near the junction of numerous rural roads, including Old Dixie School Rd, pointing to the area's agricultural history. Large lakes such as Bryant and Futch Lake and Jones Lake dot the eastern side, highlighting the low-lying, water-rich character of this Georgia coastal plain region.
