2011 Map of Royston

About this map

Royston and the surrounding Georgia countryside are mapped here at the turn of the decade, revealing a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a series of watershed management structures. The area around Canon and Bowersville is heavily marked by family and community history, with numerous burial grounds such as Oak View Cemetery and Manly Cemetery dotting the roads. Significant water management is evident throughout the terrain, featuring several numbered dams like the Beaverdam Creek Watershed Structure Number Eight Dam and the North Broad River Structure Number 28 Dam, which control the flow of local creeks. Smaller communities like Goldmine and Air Line serve as local hubs, while Bakers Bridge provides a crossing over the winding Pruitt Creek. This map captures the intricate network of local roads and the enduring footprint of historic cemeteries across this corner of Georgia.
