About this map

Currahee Mountain anchors the southeastern landscape of this Georgia region, where the North Fork Broad River and Middle Fork Broad River carve through the terrain. The map documents a cluster of established communities including Ayersville, Stottsville, and New Switzerland, alongside legacy industry sites like Shorts Mill on Little Hazel Creek. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local burial grounds, such as Chopped Oak Cemetery, Laudermilk Cemetery, and Mount Bethel Cemetery, which trace family lineages across the various crossroads.

Water management and infrastructure are central to the area's development, evidenced by several flood control structures like Hazel Creek Structure 12 Dam and the North Fork Broad River Structure Eight Dam. Transportation history is highlighted by the North Fork Trestle and numerous family-named routes such as Rudeseal Rd and Bob Patton Rd. From the high vantage point of the Currahee Lookout Tower to the recreational areas at Fern Springs Picnic Area, the map reflects a balance of rural residence, agriculture, and forestry.
