About this map

Carlton and its neighboring settlements of Ross and Paoli define this northeast Georgia landscape, where the Broad River and South Fork Broad River converge. The terrain is shaped by several prominent water bodies, including Seymours Lake, Whitehead Lake, and Glenn Lake, which reflect the region's complex hydrology. This survey captures a rural network of churches and burial grounds, such as the New Hope Presbyterian Church Cem and Old Fork Cem, which provide essential touchstones for local genealogical research.

Ferry crossings like Moon Ferry, Harpers Ferry, and Deadmans Ferry indicate historical transit points along the riverbanks that once linked these communities. The CSX railroad corridor runs through the heart of the area, while smaller water features like Fork Creek and Strickland Branch feed into the larger river system. The presence of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Georgia highlights the agricultural foundations that sustain the towns of Comer and Nickville.
