The Dodge County Georgia map set provides three printable views of a south-central Georgia county shaped by small cities, rural communities, timber history, and river basins. Eastman serves as the county seat, while Chauncey, Chester, Milan, and Rhine form the other incorporated places used for local planning.
Dodge County was established in 1870. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 19,663 residents in 2025, compared with 19,925 counted in the 2020 census.

Map coverage and available files
The Dodge County Georgia map is available as color, black-and-white, and outline A3 JPG files. The labeled editions identify selected places, while the outline file retains boundary lines without place labels or color fills.
Eastman appears as the main reference point near the center of the county. Chauncey and Rhine help define the southern part of the local settlement pattern, while Chester and Milan provide reference points farther east and southeast.
Eastman as the county center
Eastman was founded in 1871 as the seat of the newly created county. Its development was tied to the Macon and Brunswick Railroad and to the timber economy that expanded across central Georgia during the late nineteenth century.
- Eastman: county seat and largest incorporated city
- Chauncey: city in the southern portion of the county
- Chester: town east of the county center
- Milan: city extending into the southeastern area
- Rhine: city in the southern part of Dodge County
Population, area, and settlement pattern
The county contains about 496 square miles of land and had a 2020 population density of 40.2 people per square mile. Its communities are spread across a broad rural area rather than forming a continuous urban corridor.
The 2025 population estimate was 19,663, a slight decline from the 2020 estimate base. Eastman remains the main location for county government, schools, medical services, and regional transportation facilities.
From timberlands to local institutions
Dodge County was created from parts of Montgomery, Pulaski, and Telfair counties and named for William Earle Dodge, whose business interests included large timber holdings in central Georgia. Rail access and pine forests made Eastman an early center of the timber trade.
County services now include public schools, a hospital authority, a regional airport authority, and the Dodge County–Eastman Development Authority. These institutions reinforce Eastman’s role beyond its historic courthouse and railroad origins.
County borders and river basins
Dodge County borders Bleckley and Laurens counties to the north and northeast, Wheeler and Telfair counties toward the east and southeast, and Wilcox and Pulaski counties to the west. The western side connects with the Ocmulgee River system, while eastern drainage reaches the Little Ocmulgee basin.
Color county map
The color edition separates the county and surrounding areas with different fills. It is suited to comparing Eastman with the smaller incorporated communities and locating Dodge County among its six neighboring counties.
Black and white map
This version removes the color fills but keeps selected place names and boundary lines. The reduced design works for monochrome printing while preserving the location references used in the labeled map.
Outline map
The outline file contains the county shape and available internal boundary lines without the original labels. It can be used to add routes, community names, river features, or subject-specific notes.
