The Meriwether County Georgia map covers a large west-central Georgia county whose identity ranges from Greenville’s courthouse square to Warm Springs, Manchester, and the Pine Mountain landscape. The county was created from Troup County in 1827 and named for Revolutionary War general and statesman David Meriwether. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 21,516 residents on July 1, 2025.
Meriwether County has seven incorporated municipalities, but no single urban center dominates the entire map. Greenville handles county government, Manchester grew through railroads and textiles, Warm Springs became internationally known through Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the smaller towns remain closely tied to farming and local road networks.

Warm Springs and Franklin D. Roosevelt
Warm Springs had attracted visitors to its mineral waters since the nineteenth century, but Franklin D. Roosevelt transformed its national importance. He first arrived in 1924 while seeking relief from the effects of polio and later built the Little White House as a personal retreat and working residence.
Roosevelt died there on April 12, 1945. The state historic site, museum, pools, and rehabilitation tradition make Warm Springs one of Georgia’s strongest connections between presidential history and the history of disability treatment.
Places and files included on the map
This Meriwether County Georgia map identifies Greenville, Gay, Lone Oak, Luthersville, Manchester, Warm Springs, and Woodbury. The color and black-and-white files retain place names, while the outline version removes labels and fills for custom annotation.
Greenville’s courthouse and county-seat role
Greenville was laid out near the center of the county in 1828 and named for Revolutionary War commander Nathanael Greene. It remains the county seat and the oldest incorporated community.
The courthouse story reflects repeated rebuilding. An early courthouse was damaged by an 1893 tornado, its successor was completed in 1904, and a 1976 fire destroyed the interior while leaving the exterior walls. Restoration returned the building to the center of Greenville’s public square.
Manchester’s railroad and textile history
Manchester emerged at the junction of three rail lines and was incorporated in 1909. Railroad access and cotton processing produced rapid growth, earning the town the nickname “The Magic City.”
Its downtown has been restored to reflect a 1930s appearance. Manchester now serves as a commercial center for southern Meriwether County and a gateway to Warm Springs and the Pine Mountain area.
Seven municipalities with distinct origins
- Greenville: county seat and historic courthouse town
- Manchester: railroad and textile center in the south
- Warm Springs: mineral-spring resort and Roosevelt historic site
- Woodbury: eastern agricultural and highway town
- Luthersville: northwestern historic farm community
- Gay and Lone Oak: small northern and northeastern municipalities
Pine Mountain, springs, and the Flint watershed
Pine Mountain gives the southern county a more rugged landscape than the rolling Piedmont farther north. Scenic roads, hiking, cycling, historic sites, and the warm springs support a tourism economy that differs from the county’s farm and industrial areas.
Meriwether County borders Coweta County to the north, Spalding County to the northeast, Pike and Upson counties to the east, Talbot County to the southeast, Harris County to the southwest, and Troup County to the west. Parts of the county drain toward the Flint River.
