About this map

The Broad River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Elbert, Hart, and Madison counties, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural hubs and historical crossroads. The town of Bowman serves as the primary municipal center, where residential streets like E Church St and Roosevelt Cir gather near the Bowman City Cem. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial patterns of the Georgia Piedmont, where communities like Vanna, Harrison, and Seymours Store are linked by a dense network of secondary roads such as Pulliam Mill Rd and Ga-172.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds distributed across the countryside, including Pleasant Grove Cem, Holly Springs Cem, and Rehoboth Cem. Waterways like Beaverdam Cr and Mill Shoal Cr traverse the terrain, reflecting the traditional drainage-dependent settlement patterns of the region. The map also records the location of the New Lattice Bridge over the river, a notable landmark for those tracing historical transportation routes.
