2017 Map of Jasper

About this map

Jasper and the surrounding Georgia hill country of Pickens County are detailed in this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its numerous small lakes and the winding paths of Sharp Mountain Creek and Petit Cr. The area exhibits a pattern of rural clusters and established communities like Tate and Nelson along the southeastern corridor. Local geography is punctuated by specific landmarks such as Padgett Falls and the Pickens County Airport. Genealogists and local historians can trace familial sites through several cemeteries and memorial sites, including Norton Cem and Sun Rise Memorial Gardens. The drainage patterns are intricate, with dozens of named water bodies such as Bill Teague Lake and Jones Lake supporting the Piedmont environment. Smaller settlements like Ruden and Worley Crossroads serve as navigation points within the dense network of local roads and creek valleys.
