2017 Map of Draketown

About this map

The Tallapoosa River and its numerous tributaries, including Brooks Cr and Panther Cr, define the drainage patterns of this corner of Georgia where Haralson, Carroll, and Paulding counties meet. The settlement of Draketown serves as a local hub, surrounded by a dense network of family-named roads and numerous small burial grounds that speak to the area's deep-rooted genealogical history. Rural infrastructure is evident through the inclusion of Ayresouth Airport and several small impoundments such as Lake Violet and Garrett Lake. Southward, the map transitions toward the town of Temple, showing the landscape just before the corridor reaches the interstate. This 2017 survey provides a clear view of the modern rural interface, documenting the distribution of churches and cemeteries like Mount Carmel Cem and Piney Woods Cem alongside more recent land use patterns like the Panther Creek Hunting Club Rd.
