The Glascock County Georgia map covers one of Georgia’s smallest rural counties. Gibson, Mitchell, and Edge Hill are the only incorporated towns, surrounded by forest, pasture, cropland, gently rolling hills, and small waterways.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 3,141 residents on July 1, 2025, an 8.8 percent increase from the 2020 estimates base. The 2020 census counted 2,884 residents, fewer than the 3,082 recorded in 2010.

A 144-Square-Mile Rural County
Glascock County lies about forty-five miles southwest of Augusta in east-central Georgia. The Ogeechee River forms its western boundary, while Rocky Comfort Creek marks part of the eastern side.
Forest, crop fields, pasture, timber, kaolin, cotton, peanuts, and livestock remain important to the landscape and economy. The county has no large urban center, interstate highway, or major commercial corridor.

Gibson, Mitchell, and Edge Hill are the county’s three incorporated towns. Because the finished source image was not supplied with this request, the article does not claim that all three names appear on every labeled version.
How Gibson Became the County Seat
Georgia created Glascock County from Warren County in 1857. Calvin Logue donated twenty acres for public buildings, and Judge William Gibson contributed $500 toward a courthouse, leading county founders to name the new seat Gibson.
Town lots were surveyed in 1858, and Gibson incorporated in 1913. The current courthouse was built in 1919 and later remodeled, becoming the most recognizable civic building in the county seat.
Mitchell, Edge Hill, and Small-Town History
- Mitchell began as a railroad town in 1886 and incorporated in 1896.
- Edge Hill developed around a local school and incorporated in 1939.
- Gibson remains the location of county government, schools, and basic public services.
Mitchell was named for railroad president R. M. Mitchell and served the former Augusta, Gibson, and Sandersville Railroad. Edge Hill preserves several nineteenth-century residences that reflect the county’s small farming communities.
Timber, Kaolin, and Agricultural Change
Before the Great Depression, local farms produced cotton, corn, peanuts, livestock, poultry, and small grains. Railroad reductions and the disappearance of small factories limited industrial growth during the 1930s.
After World War II, lumber, wood products, kaolin processing, and health care became more important. Agriculture remains visible through pasture, row crops, livestock operations, and land-based businesses.
Hamburg State Park near Mitchell
Hamburg State Park is located near Mitchell and centers on Hamburg Lake. Visitors use the park for fishing, boating, camping, picnicking, and quiet lake recreation.
A restored 1921 water-powered gristmill operates as a country store during scheduled events. The park museum displays agricultural tools and equipment connected to rural Georgia life.
