About this map

The Adairsville Airport and the local junction of the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis and Southern railroads anchor this mid-century survey of the Bartow and Gordon County line. In the foothills of the Appalachian range, the landscape is defined by named peaks like John Gunn Mtn and Pine Log Mtn, alongside the Oostanaula R in the northwest. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural road network, featuring routes like Rome Road and Rock Fence Road that connect small agrarian communities such as Sonoraville and Farmville.

Notable landmarks include the Corra Harris Home and various spiritual centers like Wesley Chapel and Oothkalooga Ch. The southern portion of the map covers the Cartersville Mining District, where the Green Pit indicates the region's industrial heritage. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of rural burials, such as Cooper Cem and Macklin Cem, and neighborhood schools like Liberty Sch and Plainview Sch that served these valley settlements.
