The Jeff Davis County Georgia map covers a rural southeastern Georgia county centered on Hazlehurst. Denton, smaller communities, farms, timberland, rail lines, and the headwaters of the Altamaha River shape a landscape tied to agriculture and transportation.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 15,219 residents on July 1, 2025, a 3.0 percent increase from the 2020 estimates base. The 2020 census counted 14,779 residents.

Georgia’s 142nd County
Jeff Davis County was created in 1905 from parts of Appling and Coffee counties. It became Georgia’s 142nd county.
Hazlehurst was selected as the county seat because it had already developed as a railroad and commercial center.
Map Coverage and File Options
This Jeff Davis 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 municipal, railway, agricultural, forestry, or river information.
Hazlehurst and Denton are incorporated municipalities. Roper, Snipesville, and other names identify smaller communities. No finished source image accompanied the request, so the article does not claim that every place and water feature appears on every map.
Hazlehurst and the Macon–Brunswick Railroad
Hazlehurst developed where railroad construction teams working south from Macon and north from Brunswick met in 1870. A camp and depot formed at the meeting point and later became a town.
The city incorporated in 1891 and became the county seat in 1905. Its 1907 neoclassical courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Denton and Smaller Rural Communities
Denton incorporated in 1911 and serves a small rural area in southwestern Jeff Davis County. U.S. Highway 221 and local roads connect farms, homes, churches, and businesses.
- Hazlehurst is the government, rail, and commercial center.
- Denton is the county’s second incorporated municipality.
- Roper is a smaller unincorporated community.
- Snipesville lies along Georgia Highway 107.
From Tobacco to Cotton, Peanuts, and Timber
Tobacco was once the county’s leading crop. Cotton and peanuts later became more important, while timber remained a major part of the land economy.
Farm processing, trucking, public services, small manufacturing, and rail transport also support employment. U.S. highways 23 and 221 and state highways connect Hazlehurst with regional markets.
Three Rivers and Bullard Creek
The Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers meet near the northeastern county boundary to form the Altamaha River. This confluence creates one of southeastern Georgia’s most important river and wetland systems.
Bullard Creek Wildlife Management Area includes nearly 14,000 acres of forested floodplain and swampland shared with Appling and Montgomery counties. Hunting, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation are major uses.
