1964 Map of Chestnut Mountain

About this map

Walnut Creek and its many tributaries, including Caney Fork Creek and Deaton Creek, define this rural portion of the Georgia Piedmont as it transitioned in the mid-1960s. The landscape is dotted with small communities and centers of local life, from the industrial presence at Chicopee to the more dispersed settlements of Klondike and Chestnut Mountain. Notable for genealogists are the numerous rural congregations and burial grounds, such as Redwine Ch, Poplar Springs Ch, and Martin Cem.
