The Johnson County Georgia map covers a rural east-central Georgia county centered on Wrightsville. Kite, part of Adrian, smaller communities, farms, pine forests, and local highways form a low-density landscape between Sandersville, Dublin, and Swainsboro.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 9,310 residents on July 1, 2025. The 2020 census counted 9,189 residents, indicating modest growth of about 1.3 percent.

Created in 1858 and Named for a Georgia Governor
Johnson County was created in 1858 from parts of Laurens, Washington, and Emanuel counties. It was named for Herschel Vespasian Johnson, who served as Georgia governor from 1853 to 1857.
The county developed around farms, timber, small towns, and transportation routes rather than a large urban center.
Map Coverage and File Options
This Johnson 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 community, highway, agricultural, forestry, drainage, or historic information.
Wrightsville and Kite are principal incorporated places, and part of Adrian lies in the county. No finished source image accompanied the request, so the article does not claim that every community and boundary appears on every map.
Wrightsville and the County Government Center
Wrightsville is the county seat and the main location for courts, government, schools, libraries, shops, and local services. The town was named for William Hicks Wright, who provided land for the county seat.
U.S. Highway 319 and Georgia routes 15 and 57 connect Wrightsville with Dublin, Sandersville, and Swainsboro. These routes support school travel, farm shipments, timber movement, and access to regional services.
Kite and the Northeastern Farm Area
Kite is a small northeastern town with roots in rail and agricultural activity. The Kite Museum, housed in a former Masonic lodge, preserves local community history.
Farms, pine woods, churches, homes, and small businesses surround the town. Its scale remains much smaller than Wrightsville, but it serves the northeastern part of the county.
Adrian and a Zigzag County Line
Adrian extends across the Johnson–Emanuel county line. The boundary follows a distinctive zigzag path through the town, placing nearby households in different counties.
- Wrightsville is the government, education, and service center.
- Kite represents the northeastern rail and farm community.
- Adrian is divided between Johnson and Emanuel counties.
- Scott and Meeks are smaller rural communities.
Agriculture, Timber, and Rural Employment
Cotton, peanuts, corn, soybeans, livestock, and timber shape Johnson County land use. Pine forestry and related trucking or processing support the farm economy.
Public services, education, health care, small manufacturing, and commuting to nearby regional centers also provide employment.
Drainage Basins and Natural Land
Western parts of the county connect with the Oconee River basin, while eastern and southern areas drain toward the Ohoopee River system. Small creeks and wetlands support water quality and wildlife habitat.
Forests and stream corridors provide hunting, fishing, and outdoor space. Land planning must balance farming, timber production, wetlands, and water protection.
