About this map

The Conasauga River winds through the borderlands of Murray and Whitfield counties, defining a landscape shaped by water and early transportation routes. Near Tibbs Bridge, the river's path is joined by numerous tributaries including Holly Creek and Coahulla Creek. This 1970s landscape reflects a deeply rooted community, marked by a dense network of local landmarks like Smyrna Ch, New Hope Ch, and Center Hill Ch.

Infrastructure of the era is evident at the Dalton Municipal Airport and along the Seaboard railroad line. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of family-named sites such as Kilgore Cem and Mt Zion Cem, alongside the remote Brackett Ridges, provides a clear view of how these settlements were organized before later development. Features like Casey Springs Branch and the Jeep Trail highlight the more secluded reaches of the Chattahoochee National Forest.
