Communities curious names fall from maps
Placeholder Image
Longtime Hall County residents are familiar with the names of unincorporated crossroads communities such as Blackshear Place, Price, Brookton, Quillians, The Glades and Chestnut Mountain, which once was known as Chestnut Hill. The earliest maps of the county, however, listed dozens of other place names or landmarks that have since vanished with time. For instance, as late as 1915 a place called Time was listed on a map between The Glades, which still exists between Lula and Brookton, and Dewberry at the intersection of Clark’s Bridge Road and Glade Farm Road.
