2020 Map of Lexington

About this map

The Oglethorpe County Courthouse stands at the heart of Lexington, anchoring this rural Georgia landscape where established family lineages are marked by numerous small burial grounds. Small settlements like Hogan punctuate a terrain defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Troublesome Cr, Brooks Cr, and Buffalo Cr. The map reveals a distribution of private and community history through several family-named cemeteries, such as the Smith-Freeman Cem, Wynne Cem, and Milner Cem. These sites, often situated near historic road junctions like Sims Cross Rd, provide essential reference points for genealogists tracking local ancestry. The topography rises toward Big Mtn in the east, while the road system, featuring routes like Washington Rd and Crawfordville Rd, reflects the longstanding transportation patterns of Oglethorpe County. This modern survey maintains the record of these traditional landmarks amidst the evolving agricultural and wooded landscape of the Piedmont.
