About this map

The confluence of the Conasauga River and Coosa Wattee River forms the headwaters of the Oostanaula River, a hydrologic junction that historically anchored the region's development. This 1972 survey documents the cultural layers of northern Gordon County, from the preserved New Echota Historical Site and the Cherokee Indian Memorial to the Civil War heritage at the Resaca Confederate Cem near Resaca. The landscape is a transition from the edges of the Chattahoochee National Forest to the urban center of Calhoun.

Logistics and transport are defined by the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads, which parallel the river valleys. Local landmarks like Zack Airport and the Fork Ferry Bridge reflect the area's movement and infrastructure. Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cem, Horton Cem, and Fain Cem, alongside longstanding community hubs like New Zion Ch and Harmony Ch.
