2011 Map of Heardmont

About this map

The settlement of Heardmont and the surrounding Elbert County countryside are defined by the expansive waters of Richard B Russell Lake. This 2011 survey documents a landscape where the river valley has been transformed into a series of interconnected reservoirs and dammed branches, including Lake Russell and Rice Lake. Historic community centers like Pearl and Beverly are situated among a network of local roads such as Pearl Mill Rd and Heardmont Rd. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the centrally located Gods Acre Cemetery, as well as Dye Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Hunters Chapel Cemetery. The map also captures several named geographical features within the lake, such as Carter Island and Paris Island, while the southern edge provides a glimpse of the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir.
