2017 Map of Chestnut Mountain

About this map

Chestnut Mountain serves as a central hub in this Hall County landscape, where the rural past meets the expanding infrastructure of northern Georgia. The map is particularly dense with community markers for genealogists, including numerous well-placed burial grounds such as Union Baptist Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Macedonia Baptist Cem. Education and industry are represented by the Univ of North Georgia - Gainesville Campus and Lanier Technical Coll in the north, while the southern reaches follow the winding path of the Mulberry River. The transition from old crossroads like Klondike and Tanner Mill to modern corridors like Interstate 985 illustrates the area's development. Local topography is defined by prominent rises like Kennedy Mtn and Price Mtn, while water features like Gainesville Stone Lake and McEver Lake dot the rolling hills of the Lott Cr and Walnut Cr drainage basins.
