About this map

The Oostanaula River snakes through this portion of Gordon County, serving as the central geographic feature where the Conasauga River and Coosawattee River converge. This 2014 survey documents the northern outskirts of Calhoun, a landscape defined by its river-bottom geography and deep historical markers. Of particular interest to local historians are the numerous burial sites, including the Resaca Confederate Cem in the north and the New Echota Cem further south, reflecting the area's complex 19th-century history.

Small communities and named hills such as Damascus, New Town, and Brogdon Hill are connected by a network of state routes and rural roads like Ga-136 and the Roland Hayes Pky. The terrain is punctuated by water features such as Blue Springs Cr and Lee Lake, while the Holland Memorial Bridge provides a specific landmark for navigating the river crossing. The map also captures the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest in the northwest corner, showing the intersection of managed wilderness and agricultural valley land.
