About this map

The mountain town of Jasper serves as the focal point for this 1990s-era survey, revealing a landscape defined by its marble industry and expanding infrastructure. The Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the main thoroughfares, connecting the industrial quarries near Tate and Nelson to the broader regional market. Local landmarks like the Vocational Technical Sch and the Radio Tower (WYYZ) highlight the area's development as a county hub.

Beyond the town center, the terrain is dotted with ancestral landmarks such as Philadelphia Ch, Salem Cem, and Norton Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing family histories in Pickens County. The landscape is carved by numerous waterways including Long Swamp Creek and Town Creek, while the presence of several Quarry sites underscores the importance of stone extraction to the local economy during this period of Georgia's history.
