1955 Map of Tignall

About this map

The northern reaches of Wilkes County are defined by agricultural settlements and a network of rural education sites in the mid-1950s. At Tignall, the local Georgia Railroad line terminates near the Rosenwald High Sch, a significant marker of the era's educational landscape. The terrain is deeply etched by the Hog Fork Fishing Creek and its many tributaries, such as Anderson Mill Creek and Middle Creek, which separate small communities like Danburg, Sandtown, and Newford.
