1950 Map of Campbell Mtn.

About this map

The Etowah River carves through the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest on this 1950 map, revealing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and concentrated pockets of mountain life. The presence of Buckhorn Tavern and Camp Wahsega points to the area's history of travel and recreation within the foothills. In the southern reaches, the North Georgia College Farm and the Barlow Mine (Inactive) indicate how the local economy once balanced agriculture with extractive industry. Higher up, small institutions like Oak Grove Sch and Pleasant Grove Ch serve the rural homesteads scattered along the Sally Free Ridge and Lumpkin Ridge. The map documents a time when access to the deep woods still relied on crossings like Jay Bridge and the winding course of Cane Creek.
