1972 Map of Carlton

Rural community life centers on numerous country churches and cemeteries, including New Hope Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Old Fork Cem. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of waterways such as Holly Creek and Clouds Creek, while scattered Quarry sites and a prominent Radio Tower indicate the 1970s balance between traditional agriculture and modern utility. The map also delineates the convergence of Elbert, Madison, and Oglethorpe counties, providing a precise record of late-20th-century political boundaries and local settlements like Paoli and Nickville.
