1957 Map of Burton Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Lake Burton dominates this 1957 terrain, a reservoir formed by the damming of the Tallulah River within the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The map documents a landscape defined by water and mountain ridges, where family history is preserved in small burial grounds like Stoneycipher Cem and Burton Cem. Along the western slopes, the Soque River flows southward, passing the Providence Sch and the State Fish Hatchery. The intricate shoreline of the lake creates numerous coves, such as Timpson Cove and Mary Cove, which serve as landmarks for the scattered settlements like Lapardes. The presence of a Lookout Tower on Glassy Mtn and various benchmarks suggests the active management and surveying of this mountain region during the mid-century era.
