2014 Map of Barnesville

About this map

Barnesville and the surrounding Lamar County landscape are defined by a long history of rail and education. The Norfolk Southern railroad corridor acts as the primary spine for local settlement, connecting the city to Aldora and Milner. The presence of Gordon Coll reflects the area's established role as a regional center for learning. The terrain is marked by significant high points like Pine Mtn and Hog Mtn, while the rural character is preserved in numerous family-named sites and historic burial grounds, including the Confederate Cem and Wadesworth Cem. Water resources are abundant, ranging from the winding Big Towaliga Creek to localized features like Akin Lake and McCord Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns that once supported industry at sites like Woodfin Mill.
