About this map

Carrollton anchors the northern reaches of this Pickens County landscape, where the town grid meets a complex network of wetlands and creek bottoms. The terrain is defined by the significant drainage system of Lubbub Creek and its many tributaries, including Puckett Br and Little Lubbub Cr. This survey illustrates a rural economy organized around these watercourses and small unincorporated communities such as Beasley, Dillburg, and Cunningham.

Genealogists will find interest in the scattered burial grounds that serve these small settlements, including Unity Cem near Hickory and Hopewell Hill Cem to the east. The map detail highlights how local roads like Speeds Mill Rd and Marvin Chapel Rd navigate the low-lying basins of Bear Creek and Seneca Cr. Private water features such as Pates Lake and P M Johnston Lake Number Two point to a landscape dominated by local land management and small-scale agriculture.
