2017 Map of Vesta

About this map

Vesta and its surrounding rural communities sit at the junction of the Oglethorpe, Elbert, and Wilkes County lines, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Broad River. This 2017 survey details a landscape of dispersed agricultural settlements like Enterprise and Veribest, connected by a network of local roads that often bear family names. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Little Macks Cr and Goosepond Cr, which flow toward the county boundaries. Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the inclusion of several family burial sites such as Faust Cem, Bridges Cem, and Earl Bolton Cem. Infrastructure landmarks like Barbers Bridge and Mattox Bridge emphasize the importance of river crossings in this corner of Georgia, while the settlement of Saxon marks the northern extent of the quadrangle.
