About this map

The boundary between Polk and Paulding counties runs through this rural North Georgia landscape, marked by the prominent ridge of Brushy Mountain and the heights of Braswell Mountain. The settlement of Braswell sits along the northern edge, where the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line rail lines intersect a terrain of winding creeks and wooded hills. This early 1970s survey captures the region's spiritual and social infrastructure through its many rural congregations, including Friendship Ch, Wayside Ch, and Mt Olivet Ch.

Water resources define the lower elevations, from the Pumpkinvine Creek drainage in the southeast to Willow Springs Lake and the fishing waters of Goldmine Lake. Industrial footprints are limited but distinct, featuring a Strip Mine in the northwest corner near Braswell Creek. Meanwhile, the town of Yorkville serves as a western anchor, equipped with a Water Tank, Radio Towers, and a Lookout Tower positioned for regional observation.
