The Houston County Georgia map covers one of central Georgia’s fastest-growing counties. Perry is the county seat, Warner Robins is the largest city, Centerville anchors part of the northern suburban area, and Robins Air Force Base shapes employment, land use, and transportation.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 178,214 residents on July 1, 2025. The 2020 census counted 163,633 residents, compared with 139,900 in 2010.

From Houstoun County to Houston County
Houston County was created on May 15, 1821, after Muscogee land was ceded to Georgia. It was named for Governor John Houstoun, but the spelling later lost the second “u.”
The local pronunciation remains “HOW-ston,” unlike Houston, Texas. Perry became the county seat and was incorporated in 1824.
Map Coverage and File Options
This Houston 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 custom municipal, military, transportation, industrial, or population information.
Perry, Warner Robins, and Centerville are incorporated cities. Bonaire, Kathleen, and other named communities remain unincorporated. No finished source image accompanied the request, so the article does not claim that every place and base boundary appears on every map.
Robins Air Force Base and the Defense Economy
Robins Air Force Base covers 6,935 acres and supports more than fifty mission partners. More than 22,000 military members, civilians, and contractors work across maintenance, logistics, software, supply-chain, air-control, reserve-command, and base-support functions.
The installation is Georgia’s largest single-site industrial complex. Its aircraft maintenance, warehousing, engineering, and defense contracting influence employment across Houston County and the wider Macon region.
Warner Robins and a World War II City
Warner Robins began as the small rail stop of Wellston. Construction of Robins Field during World War II transformed the area, and the city was incorporated on March 5, 1943.
Modern Warner Robins contains military-oriented businesses, neighborhoods, schools, retail corridors, health care, technology, and aerospace support. Its street network and development pattern remain strongly tied to the base.
Perry, Interstate 75, and Statewide Events
Perry developed as the county seat and later became known as a Georgia crossroads. Interstate 75 and major highways connect the city with Macon, Atlanta, and southern Georgia.
The Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter opened in 1990. It hosts the state fair, livestock programs, exhibitions, competitions, and year-round events that support tourism and hospitality.
Centerville, Bonaire, and Residential Growth
- Centerville was incorporated in 1958 and grew as a northern retail and residential city.
- Bonaire is a large unincorporated community southeast of Warner Robins.
- Kathleen lies between the Warner Robins and Perry growth areas.
- Elko retains a more rural and railroad-oriented identity in the south.
New schools, subdivisions, roads, stores, and public services have expanded across these areas. Military commuting, available land, and access to Interstate 75 and Georgia 96 continue to shape development.
Agriculture, Peaches, and Industrial Change
Houston County was once a major cotton and peach producer. By the late nineteenth century it was recognized as one of the largest peach-growing areas in the United States.
Later agriculture included peanuts, corn, wheat, vegetables, and livestock. Cement, lumber, military logistics, manufacturing, construction, health care, and events diversified the economy.
