1964 Map of Calhoun

About this map

Calhoun and Charleston sit prominently along the winding banks of the Hiwassee River, a landscape defined by the convergence of the Southern railroad line and the Lee Highway. This 1964 survey, updated in 1980, reveals a dense network of family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the numerous burial grounds like Double Springs Cem and South Liberty Cem. The area’s geography is shaped by prominent ridges such as Mouse Creek Ridge and Gettys Ridge, which channel water through valleys like the Oostanaula Valley.
