2011 Map of Culberson

About this map

The Nottely River winds through this North Carolina-Georgia borderland, where several small settlements and family milling sites are distributed among the ridges. Culberson serves as a focal point in the north, while the southern landscape is defined by the community of Hemp and the winding course of Hemptown Creek. The area is notably dense with localized milling history, evidenced by Thomas Mill, Wright Mill, Forge Mill, and Sparks Mill, indicating a legacy of small-scale industry along the various mountain branches. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, including Jerusalem Cemetery and Paris Cemetery. The eastern portion of the quadrangle includes the Robert W Woodruff Scout Reservation near Lake Woodruff, illustrating the transition from early settlement patterns to mid-century recreational land use.
