About this map

Sonoraville and the surrounding Gordon County agricultural corridor appear here alongside several significant family and community landmarks. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Pine Log Creek and Jacks Creek, which support a network of small lakes including Shope Lake and Dews Lake. Local history is anchored by numerous burial grounds and spiritual centers, such as the Bethlehem Baptist Church and the Franklin Graveyard.

Evidence of the area's early industrial and rural economy is found at Yarbroughs Mill, while the southern portion of the map shows the transition into Bartow County near Folsom. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered family-named cemeteries, including the Barton Family Cem, Tate Cem, and Gaines Cem, which trace the settlement patterns across this part of north Georgia. The map also documents the modern road network, like Red Bud Sonoraville Rd SE, that connects these historic hamlets.
