2020 Map of Luella

About this map

The Towaliga River and its numerous tributaries define the landscape of this region along the Henry and Spalding County line. Modern developments like Heron Bay and Mallards Landing sit alongside established sites such as Luella and Towalaga. The area is characterized by a significant number of family-named burial grounds, including Pullin, Barham, and Slayton cemeteries, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists. The presence of Steeles Mill and Walker Mill along the watercourses suggests the long-standing importance of these streams to the local economy. While much of the terrain is now residential, the preservation of names like Bethlehem Bottoms and Buckhorn Bend reflects the older agricultural and natural features that shaped the development of northern Griffin. Notable landmarks like Chigger Hill Airport further illustrate the transition from rural land use to more contemporary local infrastructure.
