The county from the air

22 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 285 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 22 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

February 2020Flash FloodShoal Creek$100,000EM reported flash flooding developed across Hart County after up to 5.5 inches of rain fell across the county in around 24 hours, with much of that falling during the morning of the 6th. Numerous roads reportedly had water flowing of them due to a combination of poor drainage and small stream flooding, with around three dozen roads reportedly closed at the height of the event. Around a half dozen roads were washed out, including Deer Run Lane, Wisteria Cove Estate, Alexander Ray Road, Hill Road, and Jud Cole Road. Flood water infiltrated two homes, with one resident being evacuated.

April 2017Thunderstorm WindGoldmine$60,000EM reported about a half dozen homes damaged in southern hart county, two by falling trees and the others with roofs partially torn off.

June 2025Thunderstorm WindBowersville$50,000Emergency manager and utility company reported multiple trees and power lines blown down throughout Hart County. A chicken house was also destroyed.
April 2019Tornado (EF0)Air Line$50,000NWS storm survey found a tornado damage path that began along Airline-Goldmine Rd. near the intersection with W M Price Rd. A large tree was uprooted and fell onto a home at this location. Another nearby home sustained shingle loss and the collapse of a small cinderblock wall. The shingles were lofted in a direction opposite of the uprooting of an adjacent large tree. The tornado track continued northeast across Bethany-Bowersville Rd. near the intersection with Kesler Rd. to Bert Moorhead Rd, where a barn sustained major loss of roof panels and a partial collapse of one wall. Additionally, a large tree with a diameter greater than 24 inches was uprooted and other large trees were also uprooted or sustained snapped branches. The track continued northeast through open fields and woodlands before another the damage path was picked up again along Jud Cole Rd. just north of Elgin Ln, where several trees were snapped or uprooted. A metal road sign was also snapped at its base. Free-standing carports were lofted and the roof rack of a SUV was detached from the vehicle and lofted several hundred feet. A metal barn sustained significant roof and wall damage while an adjacent home suffered damage to a single wall, which had bowed outward approximately 6-12 inches from its original position. The bowing was attributed to rapid pressure changes associated with the adjacent tornado. The tornado lifted and dissipated just east of Jud Cole Rd.

Every populated place in the county

21

Named settlements recorded in the Geographic Names Information System, each with the topographic sheets covering it. Villages, hamlets and abandoned places alike. Each is shown with the nearest named watercourse or landform and the survey quadrangle it falls on. The 1 place that was also surveyed for fire insurance comes first, with the number of atlases and photographs held for them.

The vanished settlements of Hart County: the places named above that are no longer on the map.

Everything this county holds

The complete index, with nothing left out. Each of these is a separate record with its own page: a federal survey report, or the case file that argued a property on to the National Register. Both are public domain and reproduced word for word.
