About this map

The boundary between Polk Co and Haralson Co cuts through this landscape of high ridges and rural hollows, anchored by the southern outskirts of Cedartown. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Dugdown Mtn and Treat Mtn, with local curiosities such as Devils Darning Needle Hollow providing a sense of the area's colorful local nomenclature. Small communities like Benedict and Fullwood Springs are scattered along the major thoroughfares of Us-27 and Us-278, while the Norfolk Southern rail line skirts the eastern edge of the mountains.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers, including the Pine Bower Baptist Church Cem, Little Creek Cem, and Hutching Cem. The map illustrates the hydrological patterns of the region, from the Pumpkin Pile Cr to the quiet waters of Vance Lake and Benedicts Pond. Significant landmarks like Brewster Mtn stand near the old railroad path at Caseyville, showing a community structure built around both natural high points and transportation corridors.
