Baker County, Georgia
If you look into the southwestern corner of Georgia, you’ll stumble upon Baker County. It’s small, rural, and proud of it. Newton serves as the county seat, though you’d hardly call it a city.
The Flint River cuts through the county, making its eastern boundary. Farming is king here. Peanuts, cotton, and corn dominate the fields. The county’s named after Colonel John Baker, a Revolutionary War hero.
Wildlife is abundant. Deer and wild turkeys roam the woods. Baker County’s population has been shrinking for years. Folks here like their peace and quiet. You won’t find any traffic jams or skyscrapers, just open fields and country roads.
