The Quitman County Georgia map covers one of the state’s smallest and most rural counties, with Georgetown beside Lake Walter F. George and the Alabama line. Farms and timberland dominate the interior, while the western edge follows a broad reservoir on the Chattahoochee River.
Only Georgetown is incorporated, and it also serves as the county seat. The 2025 population estimate was 2,254, compared with 2,235 residents counted in the 2020 census.
Table of Contents
A county defined by water and distance
Quitman County spans roughly 152 square miles between Randolph County and the Chattahoochee River. Its settlement pattern is sparse, and services are concentrated in Georgetown rather than divided among several municipalities.
The western shoreline creates a different environment from the inland farms. Fishing camps, boat access, wildlife habitat, and lake homes occupy areas that were once tied more closely to river navigation and cotton shipping.
Map coverage and file choices
The Quitman County Georgia map identifies Georgetown, Morris, Lakepoint, and Wire Bridge along with internal divisions and the county outline. The color and black-and-white sheets retain place names; the outline sheet removes printed labels for custom work.
Georgetown from Tobanana to county seat
Georgetown was first known as Tobanana, a name taken from a nearby creek. It later adopted its present name and became the seat when Quitman County was formed from parts of Randolph and Stewart counties in 1858.
The courthouse, county offices, school, and local businesses make Georgetown the practical center of daily life. The nineteenth-century Old Quitman County Jail, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, preserves part of the town’s civic history.
River commerce, cotton, and the reservoir era
Steamboats once used the Chattahoochee River to move cotton and supplies toward the Gulf Coast. River access gave Georgetown and nearby farms a commercial connection that overland roads could not initially match.
The Walter F. George Dam later turned this reach of the river into a large reservoir. Boating, fishing, camping, and wildlife management now shape the county’s public image more strongly than commercial navigation.
Small communities beyond Georgetown
- Morris: an inland rural community east of the county seat
- Lakepoint: a reference point near the western lake country
- Wire Bridge: a small road-based community in the rural interior
- Georgetown: the only incorporated town and center for county services
These places do not form a continuous urban corridor. Fields, pine forest, wetlands, and long local roads separate the settlements, which is an important consideration when using the map for travel or local reference.
Color map
The color sheet distinguishes Georgetown’s lake-side position from the inland communities to the east. It also makes the county’s western water boundary easier to separate from neighboring Alabama.
Black and white map
Place labels and boundary lines remain on the monochrome file, but regional fills are removed. Georgetown, Morris, Lakepoint, and Wire Bridge can still be located without color printing.
Outline map
The outline version provides an unlabeled base. Users can add lake access points, wildlife areas, roads, property references, or selected community names.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Georgetown the only incorporated town?
Yes. Georgetown is both the only incorporated municipality and the county seat.
What is the large lake on the county’s western side?
It is Lake Walter F. George, a reservoir on the Chattahoochee River shared by Georgia and Alabama.
Does the outline file contain community names?
No. It is intentionally unlabeled so custom places, routes, and notes can be added.
