About this map

The Broad River defines the northern reaches of this rural landscape, serving as the border between Elbert and Oglethorpe counties. Near the confluence of Wahachee Creek and the river, Nancy Hart State Park preserves the history of the Georgia frontier. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Goosepond Creek, Long Creek, and Macks Creek, which feed into the larger river system.

Tracing the eastern corridor reveals the remnants of regional transportation history along the Old Railroad Grade, which passes through the small community of Norman. Local social and religious hubs are scattered throughout the wooded hills, from the cluster at Mallorysville and the eponymous Jacksons Crossroads to Clark Station Ch. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of Rocky Branch Cem and St Johns Cem, which remain distinct landmarks in this quiet portion of Wilkes County.
