The Worth County Georgia map covers a broad agricultural county in southwest Georgia. Sylvester is the county seat, while Poulan, Sumner, and Warwick form smaller incorporated communities across the county.
Worth County was created in 1853. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 20,059 residents on July 1, 2025, compared with 20,784 counted in the 2020 census.

Peanut Farming and Sylvester’s Identity
Sylvester promotes itself as the “Peanut Capital of the World.” Worth County and the surrounding southwest Georgia region have soils, climate, processing facilities, and farm networks that support large-scale peanut production.
The annual Georgia Peanut Festival celebrates the crop with a parade, food, entertainment, and community events. It represents the county’s agricultural identity, although individual farms and festival sites are not shown on a general county map.

How the County Seat Moved to Sylvester
San Bernard served as the first county seat, followed by Isabella in 1854. When the Brunswick and Albany Railroad passed several miles south of Isabella in 1872, a new settlement called Isabella Station began to grow beside the tracks.
The railroad community eventually became Sylvester and surpassed the older county seat. After a prolonged local contest, Sylvester became the county seat in 1904 and remains the center for government, shopping, and services.
Poulan, Sumner, and Warwick
Poulan lies east of Sylvester, Sumner is in the southern part of the county, and Warwick serves the northwestern area. These small cities provide local services within a county whose residents and farms are widely dispersed.
Viewing all four cities on one county outline helps explain the distance between communities. The finished image should be checked before stating that any additional unincorporated place is labeled.
Fields, Forests, and Other Farm Products
Peanuts are the best-known crop, but Worth County also produces cotton, corn, livestock, poultry, and other farm products. Pine forests and timber operations occupy additional land between cultivated fields.
The flat to gently rolling Coastal Plain terrain supports large fields and agricultural machinery. A county map can locate the region but does not identify crop types, ownership lines, or individual farm boundaries.
Population Change and Rural Settlement
The 2025 estimate of 20,059 residents was 3.4 percent below the April 2020 estimates base. The county also declined from 21,679 people in the 2010 census to 20,784 in 2020.
Sylvester contains the largest concentration of residents and services, while much of the county remains low-density farmland and forest. The map is therefore most useful when the towns and the full county extent are viewed together.
Color Map
The color version separates Worth County from its neighboring counties. It is suited to presentations that need Sylvester, Poulan, Sumner, and Warwick in one southwest Georgia county view.
Black-and-White Map
The black-and-white map removes color fills but keeps the county outline and selected names. It can be printed in grayscale while retaining the main location information.
Outline Map
The outline version contains boundary lines without existing labels or fills. Users can add Sylvester, the smaller cities, agricultural regions, neighboring counties, or their own project notes.
