About this map

Calhoun anchors this Gordon County landscape, where the confluence of the Conasauga River and the Coosawattee River forms the headwaters of the Oostanaula River. This modern survey illustrates a region where significant Civil War and Cherokee heritage remains deeply etched into the topography. The Resaca Confederate Cemetery and the New Echota Cemetery mark sacred grounds near the settlements of Resaca and Echota, which was once the capital of the Cherokee Nation.

Modern transportation corridors like I-75 and the Csx Transportation rail line parallel the ancient river routes, crossing the water at the Clem Holland Memorial Bridge and the Fork Ferry Bridge. The map details the local government center at the Gordon County Courthouse while showing the gradual transition from the city center to the surrounding hills, including Brogdon Hill and the fringes of the Chattahoochee National Forest.
