    1. Re: [GA-CEM] Maps to Georgia Cemeteries

    3. Every GA counties has these maps for sale (at least, until supplies run out). HOWEVER, many local governments do not seem the know that they have these DOT maps! I go into the courthouse first and ask for the DOT or "Big White Map." Usually I get a blank look. I then ask for the tax accessors office or for an office that deals with land. Eventually I will find someone who knows about the maps (often times in a separate commissioners building or at a local DOT office). The maps are good but not perfect. Sometimes cemeteries are in the wrong place, mislabeled or completely left off (about 20% of Camden cemeteries were left off completely). I've never been to a county that charged more than $3.00 for the DOT map. Jefferson County charged a low $1.50 each. So when the PDF version won't do it for you, and you will be visiting the county in question, head to the courthouse first and be insistent. I always get 2 maps - one to mark up and one to keep clean.
