About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through the northern reaches of this West Georgia landscape, marking a terrain defined by family-named roads and scattered rural cemeteries. Centered on the community of Draketown, the map details a region where Haralson, Paulding, and Carroll Counties meet. This modern survey provides a detailed view of the rural-to-suburban shift, showing the concentration of residential development near Temple in the south, while much of the area remains dominated by woodlots and creek valleys like Brooks Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites and religious landmarks, including the Union Hill Methodist Church and several small family or community plots such as Piney-Woods Cem, Corinth Cem, and Ward Cem. The area’s aviation history is represented by Ayresouth Airport, while recreational water bodies like Lake Violet and Garrett Lake dot the rolling countryside between the headwaters of Panther Cr and Mud Cr.
