2014 Map of Thomson West

About this map

The western boundary of Thomson meets the rural agricultural landscape of McDuffie and Warren counties in this 2014 survey. This area is heavily defined by its ancestral burial grounds, including family and community sites such as the David Neal Senior Cem, Joseph McMath Cem, and Stoney Grove Cem. The settlement of Mesena sits at a crossroads in the northwest, serving as a landmark between the tributaries of Childers Cr and the winding course of Brier Cr. The landscape is etched with local history, from the Stone Chapel Cem near Mesena to the Springfield Cem on the edge of town. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy names on cemeteries and small communities like Plainview trace the long-standing family foundations of East Georgia before the modern expansion of the county seat.
