1950 Map of Campbell Mtn

About this map

Buckhorn Tavern and the North Georgia College Farm sit at the southern edge of this mid-century survey, where the Etowah River carves through the lower portion of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The landscape is a network of ridges and watercourses, from the steep slopes of Whissenhunt Mtn to the Cane Creek Falls near Camp Glisson. Local life in the 1950s is marked by a series of rural institutions, including the Oak Grove Sch, Siloam Ch, and Davis Chapel Cem. Industrial history remains visible at the Barlow Mine (Abandoned) south of Dahlonega, signaling the region's mining heritage. The map also captures specialized sites like Camp Wahsega and a small Landing Field, illustrating how the area supported both forestry and early aviation as Dahlonega expanded toward its western outskirts.
