2014 Map of Philomath

About this map

Philomath and Carters Grove sit at the intersection of Oglethorpe, Wilkes, and Taliaferro counties, where a network of rural roads connects several dispersed communities. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of the North Fork Little River and S Fork Little River, with numerous small tributaries like Lunceford Br and Kettle Cr carving through the terrain. The presence of multiple family and community burial grounds, such as Thaxton Cem and the County Line Cem, highlights the long-standing genealogical roots of this pocket of Georgia.
