About this map

Anthony Shoals and the surrounding riverine landscape define this area where Elbert and Wilkes Counties meet. The Broad River serves as a natural boundary, winding past Green Island and eventually feeding into the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir at the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2020 record illustrates a rural Georgia landscape where small crossroads like Delhi and Beulah are connected by local routes such as Mallorysville Lisbon Road and Delhi Road.

For genealogists and family historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Popes Chapel Cem, Friendship Cem, and Cades Chapel Baptist Cem. The town of Tignall anchors the southwestern corner, showing a concentrated street grid that stands in contrast to the winding creek basins of Pistol Creek and Newford Creek. The presence of Tabor Cem and varied family-named roads like Oscar Walton Road provides clear points of reference for those tracing historical land use and community development in this Piedmont region.
