2017 Map of Barnesville

About this map

Barnesville and its surrounding Lamar County landscape are defined by a complex intersection of road networks and water systems, where the historic campus of Gordon Coll stands as a local landmark. The area transitions from the more densely settled corridors of Aldora and Milner to the outlying agricultural reaches of Piedmont and Woodfin Mill. This 2017 survey details a region marked by numerous small family and community burial sites, such as the Confederate Cem, Martin Cem, and Wadesworth Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The hydrology of the quadrangle is intricate, featuring numerous engineered basins like Cannafax Lake Number 3 and McCord Lake, alongside natural watercourses such as Big Towaliga Creek and the headwaters of Potato Creek. These features illustrate the managed water resources common to middle Georgia's rolling terrain.
