1951 Map of Barnesville

About this map

Barnesville serves as the central hub of this 1951 mid-century survey, defined by the convergence of the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads. The town's educational and social character is anchored by Gordon Military College, while the surrounding landscape reveals a dense network of rural communities such as Aldora, Milner, and Johnstonville. To the north, the transition from East Griffin and Orchard Hill into the rural valleys shows a territory heavily influenced by its hydrology, where the Tomaliga River and Big Potato Creek drain the undulating terrain.
