1891 Map of Carnesville

About this map

Carnesville and the surrounding Georgia Piedmont were characterized by a dense network of small agricultural settlements and river crossings in the years following the Reconstruction era. This survey, conducted by Gilbert Thompson and M. Hackett, captures a landscape defined by its reliance on water power and early rail transport. Notable river crossings such as Bragg Fy. and Daniel Fy. provided critical links across the Broad River and its many tributaries, including the Hudson River and Big Bluestone Creek.
