The Randolph County Georgia map presents a sparsely settled southwest Georgia county organized around Cuthbert, Shellman, and Coleman. Long distances between towns, broad farm districts, and declining population have shaped local services as much as the county boundary itself.
Randolph County was created in 1828 from part of Lee County and named for Virginia statesman John Randolph. The county’s population was estimated at 6,156 in 2025, down from 6,425 in the 2020 census.
Table of Contents
Cuthbert as the county’s institutional center
Cuthbert concentrates the courthouse, county offices, schools, medical care, churches, retail, and most public services. Its courthouse square and surrounding commercial blocks preserve the form of a nineteenth-century southwest Georgia county seat.
The town also carries an educational role uncommon for a county of this size. Andrew College draws students and employees into a community that otherwise serves a widely dispersed rural population.
Map coverage and available files
The Randolph County Georgia map labels Cuthbert, Shellman, Coleman, Carnegie, and Benevolence together with internal divisions and the county outline. Color and monochrome versions retain those names, while the outline sheet leaves a blank base for selected locations.
Andrew College and a long educational history
Andrew College traces its history to a Methodist institution chartered in 1854. War, fire, rebuilding, and changes in higher education eventually led to its present role as a private two-year college.
The campus gives Cuthbert cultural events, athletics, employment, and a population of students who would not otherwise be present in the county. This educational function distinguishes Cuthbert from many neighboring rural seats.
Rail towns and agricultural communities
Shellman developed as an eastern railroad and farm-market town. Cotton, peanuts, grain, timber, and supplies moved through warehouses and businesses clustered near the tracks.
Coleman is a much smaller western municipality, while Carnegie and Benevolence remain unincorporated reference points. These communities are separated by farmland, pine woods, creeks, and low-density roads rather than a continuous urban corridor.
Population loss and local resilience
Mechanization reduced the number of workers needed in cotton and peanut farming, and many residents moved toward larger employment centers. Randolph County has experienced long-term population decline since the late twentieth century.
Cuthbert’s institutions help maintain countywide services despite that trend. Shellman and Coleman continue to support surrounding farm areas, but fewer residents and longer travel distances affect schools, health care, retail, and transportation planning.
Color map
The color sheet separates centrally located Cuthbert from Shellman in the east and Coleman in the west. It also shows how much of the county lies outside incorporated towns.
Black and white map
The monochrome file keeps city and community labels without regional fills. Cuthbert, Shellman, Coleman, Carnegie, and Benevolence remain available as printed reference points.
Outline map
The outline version is free of printed place names. It can be adapted for farm districts, school routes, historic sites, roads, service areas, or other local information.
