Georgia’s 162nd County
Lamar County was created in 1920 from parts of Pike and Monroe counties. It was named for Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, a Georgia-born statesman and United States Supreme Court justice.
Its position south of Atlanta and north of Macon supports both a rural identity and access to regional jobs, transportation, and markets.
Map Coverage and File Options
This Lamar County Georgia map set contains color, black-and-white, and outline A3 JPG files. The labeled versions support county reference, while the outline version leaves room for municipal, road, farm, orchard, education, or drainage information.
Barnesville and Milner are the principal incorporated cities. Smaller named communities and rural neighborhoods also occur across the county. No finished source image accompanied the request, so the article does not claim that every place and stream appears on every map.
Barnesville, Buggy Manufacturing, and County Government
Barnesville is the county seat and the main location for courts, government, schools, shops, services, and Gordon State College. Rail and road access supported its role as a trading center.
The city became widely known for buggy manufacturing. The annual Buggy Days festival preserves this industrial history through community events and heritage activities.
Gordon State College and Regional Education
Gordon State College gives Barnesville a stronger educational role than many similarly sized rural county seats. Students, employees, events, and campus facilities support local housing, commerce, and cultural life.
The campus also connects Lamar County with students and institutions across Georgia.

Orchards, Farming, and New Commuter Growth
The county’s official profile highlights rolling scenery, pecan groves, and peach orchards. Cotton, livestock, grain, timber, and mixed agriculture have also shaped the land.
Education, public services, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and commuting toward Atlanta or Macon now broaden the economy.
Towaliga Drainage and Piedmont Landscape
Streams across the county connect with the Towaliga and Ocmulgee river systems. Potato Creek and smaller tributaries support drainage, water quality, and wildlife habitat.
Wooded stream corridors provide outdoor space and help manage runoff. Development planning must balance new housing, roads, agriculture, and natural resources.
