Georgia State Route 36
State highway in west-central and northern Georgia
State Route 36 (SR 36) is a 95.2-mile-long (153.2 km) state highway that travels southwest-to-northeast through portions of Harris, Talbot, Upson, Lamar, Butts, and Newton counties in the central part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The highways connects the Waverly Hall area with Covington, via Thomaston, Barnesville, and Jackson.
Route description
SR 36 begins at an intersection with SR 208 about 4,000 feet (1,200 m) east of Waverly Hall and just west of the Harris–Talbot county line. Almost immediately, it crosses into Talbot County and travels in a fairly northeasterly direction, before curving to the east-northeast to meet SR 41 in Greens Mill. The two highways head concurrently to the north into Woodland, where they diverge. SR 36 continues to the east-northeast and crosses over the Flint River on the Wynns Bridge into Upson County, in Pleasant Hill. The highway travels through rural areas of the county and enters Thomaston. There, it curves to the north and begins a concurrency with SR 74 (West Gordon Street). The two highways turn to the right and intersect US 19/SR 3. After that, the two highways diverge, with SR 36 continuing to the northeast.

Why this record matters
“Georgia State Route 36” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Georgia, State and Route provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2427742. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
