1973 Map of Elberton East

About this map

The industrial and civic expansion of eastern Elbert County is evident in this 1970s-era survey, where the granite industry's footprint is marked by numerous Quarry sites. The landscape transition from the urban core of Elberton to rural outposts is defined by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which passes through the community of Silk Mills and moves east toward Middleton. Local social and educational life centers on landmarks like the County Fairgrounds, the Blackwell Sch, and several rural sanctuaries including Martin Grove Ch and St Pauls Ch.
