2024 Map of Vesta

About this map

The Broad River forms the northeastern boundary of this landscape in Oglethorpe and Wilkes counties, where rural life is defined by small crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Vesta sits at the junction of Elberton Rd and Vesta Palmetto Rd, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural community. To the west, the aptly named Veribest and Enterprise anchor the road network, while Saxon occupies the northern reaches near Goosepond Creek. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, with numerous burial sites such as Earl Bolton Cem, New Hope Cem, and Bridges Cem scattered across the creek-fed lowlands. The drainage patterns of Macks Creek and Long Creek dictate the local geography, leading down toward the wetlands of Duck Pond and Dry Fork Creek in the southeast.
