Wheeler County, Georgia
Wheeler County might not sizzle with big-city excitement, but it has its own kind of heat. It’s a small patch of rural Georgia, about halfway between Macon and Savannah.
Alamo, the county seat, is barely big enough to be called a town. Farming and forestry keep the economy going.
The Oconee River forms the county’s eastern boundary. There’s also Little Ocmulgee State Park with its own lake and golf course.
