1972 Map of Nelson
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
The marble industry of the Georgia mountains is clearly visible in this 1970s record, centered on the heavy extraction sites surrounding Marblehill and the city of Nelson. Numerous Quarries dot the landscape near East Br, where a Settling Pond and Water Tank suggest the industrial scale of the operations along the Pickens and Cherokee county lines. This topography reveals a region defined by both its resource wealth and its rural community structure, with small settlements like Holcomb and family-named ridges providing a backdrop to the industrial works.
