About this map

Temple and the surrounding Georgia countryside are defined by a network of small lakes and the winding course of the Little Tallapoosa River. This 2017 study illustrates the dense local infrastructure of western Georgia, where established settlements like Abilene, Shady Grove, and the northern edge of Carrollton are connected by a web of rural roads such as Hurst Mill Rd and Hog Liver Rd. The landscape is dotted with numerous small impoundments, including Mangham Lakes, Hollingsworth Lake, and Spence Lake, which provide a reliable water supply for the region's agriculture and rural residents.

Genealogists will find this record particularly valuable for its precise locations of family and community burial grounds. Several historic sites are documented, including Abilene Cem, Old Concord Cem, and Pleasant Ridge Cem. The transition from the rural southern reaches toward the municipal areas of Bremen in the northwest and Temple in the northeast is clearly marked by the path of Bethel Cr and the Little Tallapoosa River.
