1972 Map of Sparta NE

About this map

Powelton sits on the western edge of this landscape, serving as a focal point near the intersection of several county boundaries. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into the Ogeechee River and Rocky Comfort Creek, including the family-named Walker Branch and Chapman Branch. This 1972 survey, later photoinspected in the early 1980s, highlights the rural community structure of Warren, Hancock, and Taliaferro Counties through its scattered houses of worship and fire management infrastructure. Local life centers around rural landmarks like New Hope Ch, Greenwood Ch, and Rocky Branch Ch. The presence of the Barnett Lookout Tower and a large Pipeline corridor indicates the area's role in forest monitoring and regional infrastructure, while numerous unnamed cemeteries suggest deep-rooted family ties throughout the hills around Potato Hill.
