About this map

Jasper serves as the focal point of this North Georgia survey, situated along the Seaboard Coast Line where the Piedmont begins to give way to the Blue Ridge foothills. The landscape is defined by the prominent Sharp Mountain and the deep incisions of Long Swamp Creek and Sharp Mountain Creek. This era of the early 1970s, with later revisions, shows the community's evolution with the Vocational Technical Sch and County High Sch near the town center, alongside essential infrastructure like the Filtration Plant and Hospital.

Beyond the central settlement, the map reveals a rural network of small crossroads and gathering places such as Cagle, Worley Crossroads, and Tate. The area's industrial character is marked by several Quarry sites and Quarries east of the rail line. Numerous rural houses of worship, including Philadelphia Ch, Salem Ch, and Refuge Ch, provide critical points of reference for genealogists tracing family ties in Pickens and Cherokee counties.
