1972 Map of Calhoun North

About this map

New Echota Historical Site and the Cherokee Indian Memorial stand as significant markers of regional heritage along the Oostanaula River. This 1970s survey details a landscape defined by the confluence of the Conasauga River, Coosawattee River, and Oostanaula River, north of Calhoun. The transportation network is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the historical Nashville and Louisville Road. Civil War history is preserved at the Resaca Confederate Cem near the community of Resaca. For genealogists, the map identifies numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Chandler Cem, Fain Cem, and New Echota Cem. Smaller settlements like Nance Springs, Angelville, and Damascus appear alongside industrial and municipal features including the Filtration Plant and City Hall Courthouse in the growing hub of Calhoun.
