About this map

The boundary between Habersham Co and Stephens Co bisects this mid-century survey, where the Southern Railway winds through the foothills toward Mount Airy. The settlement of Ayersville sits centered near the Chattahoochee National Forest, supported by a network of rural institutions like Mt Pleasant Ch and the Hazel Grove Sch. To the southeast, the prominent profile of Currahee Mtn overlooks the landscape, marked by a Radio Tower Lookout Tower Radio Facility.

A distinct pattern of small-scale agriculture and early water management is visible through numerous named ponds and reservoirs, including Reservoir No 12 and Warren Franklin Pond. Local history researchers will find vanished community hubs like Shorts Mill and Hills Crossing, while several country churches such as Antioch Ch and Mt Bethel Ch anchor the scattered homesteads along Glade Road and Mize Road.
