About this map

Carrollton anchors the northern edge of this Carroll County landscape, overlooking a terrain defined by the winding paths of Pelucia Creek and Ashley Creek. The mid-1970s survey captures a rural network of family-named landmarks and small water bodies, including Gee Lake, Shackelford Lake, and Costilow Lake. Evidence of local community life is found in several country cemeteries and churches, such as Enon Ch and Poplar Springs Ch, which appear alongside the small settlement of Coila and its nearby Coila Cem.

Logistics and infrastructure are represented by the Carrollton Lookout Tower and a large Pipeline cutting through the hills. This era shows a landscape primarily shaped by forestry and small-scale agriculture, with several Gravel Pits indicating local extraction. The map preserves the specific locations of isolated burial grounds like Marshall Cem and Foreman Cem, providing essential details for those tracing the social geography of the region.
