About this map

The agrarian landscape of Gordon and Bartow Counties unfolds across this 2017 study, anchored by the crossroads of Sonoraville and the historic site of Yarbroughs Mill. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Pine Log Creek and Salacoa Creek, which feed into several local water bodies including Young-Wright Lake and Shope Lake. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites and religious landmarks, ranging from the Franklin Graveyard and Barton Family Cemetery to the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church.

Transitioning south across the Gordon-Bartow County line, the map identifies the settlement of Folsom and the secluded Happy Hollow Cemetery. The area's hydrology is particularly detailed, noting small features like Mosteller Spring and the Hopgood Bridge crossing. This survey documents the persistent rural character of these North Georgia communities, preserving the location of family landmarks and small-town junctions like Farmville and Cash amidst the creek-fed valleys.
