1955 Map of Broad

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Broad River defines the landscape of this 1955 survey, where the river's transition into the newly formed Clark Hill Reservoir has begun to reshape the borders of Wilkes, Elbert, and Lincoln counties. The inundation of Anthony Shoals marks a significant change for the region, as the reservoir reservation boundary encloses formerly dry land. Away from the river, the area maintains its traditional agrarian character, centered on a network of small communities and rural congregations such as Shiloh Ch, Popes Chapel, and Friendship Ch. The presence of the Nancy Hart State Park and the eponymous Nancy Hart Highway reflects the local historical significance of the Revolutionary War heroine. Small educational hubs like Pole Branch Sch and crossroads settlements like Delhi and Broad provide valuable geographic markers for genealogical research in this mid-century Georgia backcountry.
