About this map

The Etowah River carves through this northern Georgia landscape, serving as a primary drainage for numerous mountain branches and creeks. In the mid-twentieth century, this region was characterized by small rural settlements and institutional landmarks like Camp Wahsega and the North Georgia College Farm. The presence of the Barlow Mine (Inactive) points to the area's history of mineral extraction, while a network of country churches and schools, such as Davis Chapel Cem and Oak Grove Sch, indicates the distributed nature of the local community.

Much of the terrain is protected within the Chattahoochee National Forest, where named peaks like Campbell Mountain and Whissenhunt Mtn overlook the watershed. The map records the location of many family-named cemeteries and landmarks, including Buckhorn Tavern and Chuck Shoals, which provide essential clues for researchers tracing the local genealogy and land-use patterns of Lumpkin County during this postwar period.
