2014 Map of Cadley

About this map

Cadley and Thigpen anchor this rural landscape in eastern Georgia, where the borders of Wilkes, Taliaferro, Warren, and McDuffie counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Williams Creek, Factory Creek, and Hart Creek, which feed into the Little River. This 2014 survey reveals a territory rich in genealogical markers, particularly numerous small burial grounds such as Sardis Cemetery, Friendship Cemetery, and the Winn Oliver Cemetery. The presence of several family-named landmarks and churches, including Rays Chapel Cemetery and S Liberty Church Cemetery, suggests a long-established community structure tied to the local topography and creek valleys. Notable water features like Ray Lake and Mcbrayer Lake appear alongside crossings such as Woodruff Bridge, illustrating the local hydrology that has shaped the area's development and transport routes.
