2014 Map of Broad

About this map

Broad River serves as the prominent natural boundary between Elbert, Wilkes, and Lincoln counties, flowing toward the eastern reaches of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir. The landscape is characterized by a network of small creeks like Pistol Cr and Newford Cr that drain the undulating terrain of the Georgia Piedmont. This modern survey shows the area's rural continuity, centered around small communities such as Broad, Delhi, and Beulah. Local genealogy is well-documented through several historic burial sites, including Friendship Cem, Popes Chapel Cem, and Tabor Cem. The presence of Anthony Shoals on the river and a dense web of named local roads, such as Delhi Rd and Flatrock Rd, illustrates the enduring rural infrastructure of Wilkes County into the early 21st century.
