About this map

Pruitt and Pinefield Crossroads serve as central points in this landscape of the upper Broad River basin, where the Middle Fork Broad River winds through the foothills of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The map documents a rural transition zone defined by numerous small water impoundments, including Reservoir 17 and Reservoir 30, alongside family-named landmarks like Wells Mtn and Norton Hill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of ancestral burial grounds such as Broad River Cem, Leatherwood Cem, and Damascus Cem. Transportation history is marked by several river crossings, including Moss Bridge and Hooper Bridge, which link the various crossroads communities across county lines. The presence of Wofford Shoals and Shady Grove Pond highlights the importance of water resources in shaping the settlement patterns of this north Georgia region.
