1961 Map of Allatoona Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Allatoona Lake dominates this north Georgia landscape, created by the construction of the Allatoona Dam across the Etowah River. This mid-century survey, with later revisions, shows the intricate shoreline that reshaped the region's geography, winding past Red Top Mtn and Island Mtn. Within the protected bounds of the Allatoona State Wildlife Management Area and Red Top Mountain State Park, the map preserves the location of many older landmarks. Genealogists can find several family and community burial grounds including Macedonia Cem, Goodson Cem, and Kay Cem. While newer recreation spots like the Atlanta Yacht Club appear along the water, the northern reaches maintain an older character with settlements like Holly Spring and Corbin near the ridge lines of Wildcat Ridge.
