About this map

Jasper serves as the seat of Pickens County, centered on the Pickens County Courthouse and the Chattahoochee Technical College Appalachian Campus. This terrain in the foothills of the Blue Ridge is defined by a series of north-south running ridges and narrow valleys, drained by waterways such as Pettit Cr and Sharp Mountain Creek. The map documents the region's long-standing connection to the stone industry, notably through the Georgia Marble Company Lake near the community of Nelson.

Rural life is anchored by established settlements like Tate, Cagle, and Worley Crossroads. Local landmarks including the Norton Cem, Ebenezer Ch, and Sun Rise Memorial Gardens provide critical points of reference for genealogical research. The landscape is also marked by several small impoundments such as Jewell Eaton Lake and Bill Teague Lake, reflecting the local water management patterns of the modern era.
