1979 Map of Barnesville

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Barnesville serves as a quiet focal point in this Macon County landscape, situated amidst the complex drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Little Chariton River and its numerous tributaries. This late 1970s survey documents a rural environment deeply rooted in local history, evidenced by a high density of family and community burial grounds such as Quail Trap Cem, Hockensmith Cem, and Hertzler Cem. The topography is defined by the divides between Sweezer Creek, Buck Creek, and the East Fork Little Chariton River. In the southeast, the creation of Long Branch Lake and the establishment of the Atlanta State Wildlife Area mark a significant transition toward conservation and water management. Transportation is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor cutting through the northwest, while small community landmarks like Chariton Ridge Ch and Plainview persist as markers of the area's social geography.
