2020 Map of Sparta

About this map

The Hancock County Courthouse serves as the focal point for Sparta, Georgia, where a dense network of streets like W Broad St and Court St radiates into the surrounding agricultural landscape. This survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds and religious sites scattered throughout the quadrangle. From the central Sparta Cem to the outlying Smyrna Methodist Church Cem and Saint Mark African Methodist Episcopal Church Cem, these sites offer significant detail for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Little Ogeechee River and numerous tributaries such as Beaverdam Cr and Fulsome Cr. To the east, the settlement of Culverton sits near the banks of Dry Cr, while landmarks like Coleman Lake and Armstrong Lake dot the landscape between rural homesteads and family cemeteries like the Amos Brantley Family Cem.
