Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 771 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 20 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

March 2023Flash FloodIvey$100,000The Emergency Manager relayed a report of a dam breach at Lake Tchukolako following a period of heavy rainfall. In the preceding 36-hours, the area of the lake and the immediate upstream basin received 3 to 5 inches of rain, causing the dam to be overwhelmed. Although the dam failed at approximately 1 AM EST March 28, it was being monitored for 'imminent failure' through the day March 27. The failure resulted in flooding and the subsequent closure of Wrigley Road. This dam had previously failed in May 2020, and repairs were complete in summer 2022.
April 2017Tornado (EF2)Brooks$100,000A National Weather Service survey team found that an EF2 tornado with maximum wind speeds of 115 MPH and a maximum path width of 200 yards developed southwest of the town of Gordon near the intersection of Highway 57 and Mission Farm Road. The tornado travelled northeast crossing Highway 18 as it entered the community of Gordon. The tornado turned east and quickly strengthened to EF2 strength as it moved|through the Gordon community. Several small business structures were severely damaged and large trees within a local community park area were uprooted as the tornado moved east along Paper Mill Road. The tornado lifted after moving through the local park. This thunderstorm would later produce an EF0 tornado several miles east as it moved north of McIntyre. No injuries were reported. [04/03/17: Tornado # 19, County #1/1, EF-2, Wilkinson, 2017:051].
May 1995Thunderstorm WindMcIntyre$100,000Thunderstorm winds knocked over several large tree limbs in all communities.

August 2003Thunderstorm WindMc Intyre$75,000The Wilkinson County News reported that thunderstorm winds caused extensive damage, with trees blown down onto roads, bridges, railroad tracks, and power lines. Several homes were severely damaged when large trees fell on or through the roofs of the homes. A large tree was also blown down at the Unimin Corporation. At least two roads were blocked because of downed trees. Crews worked much of the night to restore electrical and phone service to the area and clean debris from the roadways.
May 2008Tornado (EF1)Gordon$50,000A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City confirmed that the EF0 to EF1 tornado that first touched down near Fitzpatrick in central Twiggs county continued eastward across eastern Twiggs county and into Wilkinson county. The tornado entered Wilkinson county about 4 1/3 miles southeast of Myricks Mill and continued on an almost due eastward track to the far southeastern part of the county, lifting about eight miles southeast of Toombsboro. The tornado entered the county with an EF0 strength rating. As the tornado continued eastward it began to parallel Georgia Highway 96 where it crosses U.S. Highway 441, about five miles south of Irwinton. A mobile home was damaged on Beaver Dam Road near this point as the the tornado briefly strengthed to an EF1. Little to no other structural damage was observed, but numerous trees and power lines were down along the path of the tornado. Maximum winds within the tornado were estimated at 90 mph with a maximum path width of 100 yards.

The same supercell thunderstorm that produced tornadoes in Crawford, Peach and Twiggs Counties produced a third tornado that touched down south of Toomsboro just west of Highway 112 near the intersection with Camp Creek Road. The tornado quickly reached EF1 strength, downing and snapping trees as it crossed Highway 112. The tornado continued northeast, reaching its maximum width as it crossed Highway 57. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted in this area. The tornado moved northeast through a very rural wooded area and reached the Dixie Kaolin Mine where the Emergency Manager reported numerous trees snapped or uprooted with some damage to the roofs of buildings at the mine site. The tornado dissipated in the wooded area northeast of the mine. No injuries were reported. [03/03/19: Tornado #7, County #1/1, EF1, Wilkinson, 2019:012].

One home sustained minor to moderate damage.
April 2017Tornado (EF0)Mt Carmel$25,000A National Weather Service survey team found that the thunderstorm responsible for the EF2 tornado around Gordon in northwest Wilkinson County produced an EF0 tornado in northern Wilkinson County. The tornado touched down near the intersection of Sheppard Bridge Road and DP Carr Road and travelled northeast crossing Mt. Carmel Road and US Highway 441 before ending around the intersection of Smith Startley Road and Wriley Road. Although most of the path consisted of snapped trees, the tornado caused roof damage to a residence at the intersection of Napier Pond-|Wriley Road and Parker Hill Road. No injuries were reported. [04/03/17: Tornado #21. County #1/1, EF-0, Wilkinson, 2017:053].

Every populated place in the county

20

Named settlements recorded in the Geographic Names Information System, each with the topographic sheets covering it. Villages, hamlets and abandoned places alike. Each is shown with the nearest named watercourse or landform and the survey quadrangle it falls on.

The vanished settlements of Wilkinson County: the places named above that are no longer on the map.

Everything this county holds

The complete index, with nothing left out. Each of these is a separate record with its own page: a federal survey report, or the case file that argued a property on to the National Register. Both are public domain and reproduced word for word.
