1973 Map of Jasper

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks anchor the landscape of northern Georgia, cutting through the corridor between Jasper and Tate during the early 1970s. This survey illustrates a region defined by its industrial resources and rural infrastructure, where numerous Quarries and a dedicated Filtration Plant indicate the importance of local stone and water management. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Sharp Mountain and the water systems of Sharp Mountain Creek and Long Swamp Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements and agricultural holdings.
