2011 Map of Broad

About this map

The Broad River defines the northern landscape of this region, meeting the upper reaches of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir at Anthony Shoals. This 2011 survey captures a quiet, rural corner of Georgia where small settlements and crossroads communities like Broad, Delhi, and Beulah are connected by a network of named country roads. The distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Popes Chapel Cemetery and Tabor Cemetery, provides essential geographic markers for genealogical research in Wilkes County. The terrain is deeply etched by a drainage system including Pistol Creek and Newford Creek, which flow through a landscape dominated by timberland and small clearings. Notable landmarks like Green Island and the intersection of historic routes such as Mallorysville Lisbon Rd illustrate the enduring physical layout of these traditional Piedmont communities.
