About this map

Jasper and the nearby community of Tate anchor this portrait of north Georgia's landscape, where industrial operations and residential growth intersect. The southern edge of the map is dominated by the Georgia Marble Company, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to the stone industry. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of water management features, including the Sharp Mountain Watershed Dam Number One and numerous other numbered dams that regulate the flow of Sharp Mountain Creek and Pettit Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Norton Cemetery near the center of Jasper, while several crossroads settlements such as Worley Crossroads, Cagle, and Ruden provide a sense of the area's rural layout. The map also records key infrastructure like the Pickens County Airport and the residential developments around Grandview Lake and Twin Mountain Lakes. This 2011 survey documents a moment when the traditional marble industry coexisted with modern aviation and suburban expansion.
