About this map

Moro Cr defines the winding boundary between Calhoun and Bradley counties, weaving through a landscape of timberlands and rural drainage basins. The small town of Banks serves as a local hub near the eastern edge, where the evocatively named Buck Fever HWY intersects with secondary routes. To the south, the community of Summerville sits near Harrell Lake, while the settlement of Lanark anchors the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites scattered across the township lines, including Childs Cem, McFarland Cem, McLeod Cem, and Smith Cem. The area is heavily defined by its water system, with numerous branches like Hurricane Cr, Caney Cr, and Jacks Cr feeding into the central Moro drainage. The extensive network of numbered Bradley County roads suggests a landscape organized around forest management and rural access during this era.
