About this map

Silver City and Coal Mountain define the settled landscape of this Forsyth County region during the early 21st century. The map reveals an area defined by water management and rural transition, where the Etowah River and its tributaries are controlled by numerous structures such as Etowah River Watershed Dam Number Nine and Norrell Lake Dam. The eastern edge is dominated by the sprawling reaches of Lake Sidney Lanier, featuring the Thompson Creek Access Point.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Concord Cemetery, Byrd Cemetery, and Coal Mountain Cemetery. The intersection of old landmarks like Blacks Mill with newer residential developments near Chestatee shows the changing character of the Georgia Piedmont. Significant reservoirs such as Settingdown Reservoir Number 56 and Kalb Lake reflect the complex watershed engineering required to support the growing population north of Atlanta.
