1955 Map of Broad

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Anthony Shoals marks a significant natural bottleneck on the Broad River as it winds through Wilkes, Elbert, and Lincoln counties. This mid-1950s landscape is defined by the encroaching Clark Hill Reservoir, which has altered the traditional riverbank geography and established the Clark Hill Reservation Boundary. The map reveals a dense network of rural community centers, particularly a high concentration of country churches that served the agricultural population, such as Popes Chapel, Shiloh Ch, and Newford Ch. The Nancy Hart Highway runs through the northwest corner near Nancy Hart Park, while smaller settlements like Delhi and Broad remain connected by unimproved roads. Notable social landmarks like Pole Branch Sch and Cade Chapel provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Georgia during the mid-twentieth century.
