2011 Map of Ludville

About this map

Hinton and Ludville anchor this northern Georgia landscape, where a network of rural routes and creek valleys define the settlement patterns of Pickens County. The terrain is marked by numerous peaks including Henderson Mountain, Sharp Mountain, and Tally Mountain, which separate the drainage of Scarecorn Creek from the southern reaches of Salacoa Creek. This area is characterized by a high concentration of watershed management infrastructure, with multiple numbered dams like Sallacoa Creek Watershed Dam Number 95 and Talking Rock Watershed Dam Number One creating small reservoirs such as Kraft Lake and Watson Lake. For genealogists, the map reveals several family-named locations and cemeteries, including the County Line Cemetery and Hutcherson Cemetery, alongside smaller communities like Jerusalem and Talmadge. This modern survey documents the persistence of historic hamlets amidst a complex system of water conservation and mountain ridges.
