About this map

Acworth sits at the heart of this topographic study, bordered by the sprawling waters of the Allatoona Reservoir and Lake Acworth. The landscape is a complex intersection of county lines, where Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, and Paulding counties converge. The local transportation network is defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and historic thoroughfares like Old Stilesboro Road and Mars Hill Road.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of rural landmarks, including the Mars Hill Cem and several community-anchoring churches such as Mt Zion Ch, Mt Olivet Ch, and Hickory Grove Ch. The presence of the Lake Acworth Recreation Area and the Acworth Sch highlights the town's mid-century development. From the heights of Iron Hill to the banks of Pumpkinvine Creek, the map documents a region balancing its agrarian roots with the growing influence of the reservoir system.
