2017 Map of Broad

About this map

The Broad River winds through the heart of this Northeast Georgia landscape, defining the jagged border between Elbert, Wilkes, and Lincoln counties. This rural interior is marked by the quiet settlements of Broad and Delhi, connected by a network of winding roads like Broad Rd and Delhi Rd. The geography shifts as the river enters the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir, where the water broadens around Green Island and flows past the natural obstacle of Anthony Shoals. Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including Cades Chapel Baptist Cem, Popes Chapel Cem, and Tabor Cem. Numerous smaller waterways like Pistol Cr and Newford Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Savannah River basin in this region.
