About this map

Coal Mountain and the surrounding upper Piedmont landscape are documented here during a period of significant suburban transition. The map details a complex water management system comprising numerous numbered reservoirs, such as Settingdown Reservoir Number 56 and Reservoir Four, which feed into the Settingdown Creek watershed. These man-made features sit alongside older natural landmarks like the Etowah River and Big Savannah.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data, from rural burial grounds like Coal Mountain Cemetery and Ebenezer Cemetery to established local congregations at Hopewell Church. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the encroaching waters of Lake Sidney Lanier, while the central corridor is dominated by the modern path of Ga-400, illustrating the shift from a mill-and-creek economy toward modern transit and residential development in Forsyth County.
