2017 Map of Bartletts Ferry Dam

About this map

Bartletts Ferry Dam anchors this stretch of the Chattahoochee River, where the waters of Bartletts Ferry Lake and Lake Harding form a complex shoreline between Georgia and Alabama. The landscape is defined by its hydroelectric history and the winding inlets of Mulberry Creek and Wacoochee Creek. On the Georgia side, the terrain rises toward several notable peaks including Williams Mtn, German Mtn, and the ridge of Pine Mtn. Small communities like Mountain Hill and Piney Grove serve as local hubs, while historical burial grounds such as Antioch Cem and Old Smyrna Cem provide essential data points for family researchers. The map traces the transition from the river bottomlands to the higher elevations of Mountain Oak Creek, revealing a rural network of roads and small private lakes like Lake Williams and Peterson Lake that characterize this border region in the early twenty-first century.
