2011 Map of Oakman

About this map

The Coosawattee River defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the massive Carters Dam creates the expansive Carters Lake and is supported by the nearby Carters Reregulation Dam. This 2011 survey captures a series of small, rural communities connected by a network of state routes and country roads like Old Highway 411 and Pearl Johnson Rd NE. The settlement of Oakman serves as a central point, featuring the Oakman Post Office, while the surrounding terrain is marked by smaller locales such as Petersburg, Colima, Sweden, and Ranger. Significant water control features like Tillman Lake Dam and the Sallacoa Creek Watershed Dam Number 77 suggest a landscape managed for both power and flood control. The topographic detail follows the drainage of Talking Rock Creek and Lick Creek, tracing the low-lying areas around Big Ridge.
