2011 Map of Yorkville

About this map

The Yorkville Mine and Baxter Prospect anchor the southern landscape of this Paulding County survey, reflecting a history of local resource extraction. The area is defined by the winding course of Raccoon Creek and Pumpkinvine Creek, which are segmented by numerous small reservoirs such as Willow Springs Lake and Womack Lake. In the northern section, the settlement of Braswell sits near the crossing of the Silver Comet Trl, a prominent feature that cuts diagonally across the terrain. Genealogists will find several burial grounds of interest, including the Old High Shoals Cemetery and Friendship Cemetery. Historical infrastructure is represented by the Archibald Holland Bridge over Raccoon Creek, while small communities like Beatty Switch and Divide mark former rail stops or crossroads. The map also captures the topography of Brushy Mountain and Scoggins Ridge, providing a clear look at the region’s drainage patterns and rural road network during the early 21st century.
