2020 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Fairmount occupies a central position on this Georgia terrain where the lower Appalachian foothills begin to rise, marked by prominent elevations like Ramsaeur Mtn and Carter Mtn. The landscape is defined by the watershed of Salacoa Cr and Pinhook Cr, which weave through narrow valleys between these peaks. The spatial distribution of several genealogical sites, including the Shiloh Cem to the north and the Richardson Family Cem to the south, indicates a long history of family-centered settlement across this part of Gordon and Bartow counties. Smaller rural communities like Ryo, Funkhouser, and Greely are connected by a network of winding mountain roads such as Black Knob Church Rd and Possum Hollow Rd SE. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of Salacoa Valley, where residential clusters remain anchored to the topography of the ridges and creeks.
