This is a real 3D model of Macon-Bibb County — actual USGS terrain, building footprints, roads, and zoning data, placed exactly where they sit on the ground, not a stylized illustration.
Some of what's here is better experienced than read — toggle the layers in the panel and see what you find. A few of them tell a story about this place that a flat map never could.
Built by Reid McLain, who analyzes workforce trends at the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce and studied at Mercer University here in Macon. This started as an attempt to model Macon in 3D and grew into a passion project: trying to document every aspect of this county through real data.
Fly around freely, click any building or route, and use the panel on the right to explore every layer.
