2022 Map of Paint Lick

About this map

The borderlands of Garrard, Madison, and Lincoln counties center on the winding course of Paint Lick Creek, where the communities of Paint Lick and Cartersville anchor a landscape defined by rolling knobs and narrow valleys. This area reflects a deep-rooted agricultural and rural settlement pattern, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Carpenter Cem, Stringtown Cem, and Vanhock Cem. The physical geography is marked by significant rises like Pine Knob and Steve Knob, while the human imprint includes the small Cartersville Airport and the lingering tracks of an Old Railroad Grade Rd near Lowell.
