1971 Map of Amicalola

About this map

Amicalola Falls State Park and the surrounding southern Blue Ridge mountains define this 1971 topographical study. The terrain is a network of ridges and watercourses, anchored by Amicalola Mountain and the waters of Amicalola Creek. Religious life in this portion of the Chattahoochee National Forest is well-documented through numerous country churches and associated grounds, including Little Ebenezer Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Antioch Ch. The map reveals a transition between public forest lands and private holdings along the borders of Gilmer, Dawson, and Pickens counties. Significant water features like Sequoyah Lake and Fausett Lake appear alongside family-named landmarks like Horse Cove and Eagle Br. The topography is marked by notable peaks such as Sassafras Mtn and Burnt Mtn, the latter featuring a Radio Tower that serves as a modern navigational landmark amidst the older jeep trails and secondary roads.
