A Large Early County Reduced by New Boundaries
Irwin County was created in 1818 from land acquired from the Muscogee people after the Treaty of Fort Jackson. It was named for Georgia governor Jared Irwin.
The original county was much larger. Coffee, Worth, Berrien, Tift, Turner, Ben Hill, and other counties later received territory from the early Irwin County area.
Map Coverage and File Options
This Irwin County Georgia map set contains color, black-and-white, and outline A3 JPG files. The labeled versions support county reference, while the outline version leaves room for agricultural, transportation, community, drainage, or historic-site information.
Ocilla is the only incorporated city. Irwinville, Mystic, Wray, and other names identify smaller communities. No finished source image accompanied the request, so the article does not claim that every community and road appears on every map.
Ocilla and the Modern County Seat
Ocilla was incorporated in 1897 and became the county seat in 1907. County offices, courts, schools, agricultural businesses, shops, and local services are concentrated there.
Rail transport and farm-product distribution supported the city’s development. Agriculture, trucking, public services, and small business remain important to the local economy.
Irwinville and the Jefferson Davis Site
Irwinville served as the former county seat. Its 1883 courthouse continued to house county offices until the seat moved to Ocilla in 1907.
Jefferson Davis was captured near Irwinville on May 10, 1865. The Jefferson Davis Memorial Historic Site preserves the location and interprets the closing period of the Civil War.
One of Georgia’s Most Agricultural Counties
Irwin County’s official profile ranks the county third in Georgia for the percentage of land in farms and sixth for total cropland acreage. Agriculture therefore shapes roads, settlement, employment, and open-space patterns.
- Peanuts and cotton are major South Georgia cash crops.
- Corn and vegetables add seasonal crop variety.
- Livestock and feed support mixed farm operations.
- Timber uses forest parcels between fields and communities.
Highways and Small Communities
U.S. Highway 319 and Georgia routes 32 and 90 connect Ocilla with neighboring counties. These roads are important for farm shipments, school travel, services, and access to larger regional centers.
Mystic, Wray, and other rural communities consist of farms, churches, homes, and small businesses. Their low density contrasts with Ocilla’s compact government and commercial center.
