2017 Map of Jacksons Crossroads

About this map

Broad River serves as the primary boundary line between Elbert, Oglethorpe, and Wilkes counties, defining the northern landscape of this rural Georgia terrain. The map details a region characterized by small crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Bell, Norman, and Jacksons Crossroads. The intricate network of creek systems, including Goosepond Cr, Long Creek, and Chickasaw Cr, dictates the placement of early infrastructure like Gunnells Bridge and Bells Bridge. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites like Rocky Branch Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Mallorysville Cem. The road network, with routes such as Saxon Mattox Rd and Mallorysville Rd, connects these isolated communities and historic church locations, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural and social patterns of the Wilkes County countryside.
