2014 Map of Farrar

About this map

Murder Creek and its complex network of tributaries define the topography of this Georgia landscape, which spans the junctions of Newton, Jasper, and Morgan counties. The 2014 survey reveals a region characterized by small rural settlements and a significant concentration of man-made water bodies. Near the community of Farrar, several large lakes including Quailwood Lake and Rex Haven Lakes highlight the transition toward managed water resources and residential land use. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, such as Shiloh Cem, Murder Creek Cem, and Loyd Cem. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Maxwell sits near the crossing at Barr Bridge, while the western terrain is marked by a series of numbered reservoirs including Boyle Lake Number One and the strikingly named Boyle Murder Lake.
