About this map

Adairsville serves as a central hub in this mid-century portrait of Gordon and Bartow counties. The landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley topography of the lower Appalachians, where the Oostanaula River and Oothkalooga Creek carve through the terrain. The area's transit-oriented history is visible through the dual paths of the Louisville and Nashville and Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis RR, which paralleled the Old Dixie Highway to connect the region's agricultural and industrial centers.

Notable local landmarks include the Corra Harris Home and the industrial footprint of the Cartersville Mining District in the southeast. Genealogists will find a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Cooper Cem, Oothkalooga Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch. From the heights of Henderson Mtn to the depths of Yarbrough Cave, the map records a rural Georgia landscape during the final years of World War II.
