2020 Map of Coal Mountain

About this map

Coal Mountain and Silver-City anchor this northern Georgia landscape at the interface of several water systems. The northern edge follows the Etowah River and its tributary Mill Cr, while the eastern boundary is defined by the inlets of Lake Sidney Lanier, specifically around Chestatee. The map reveals a complex water management system involving multiple reservoirs, including Settingdown Cr Watershed to Reservoir and Reservoir Four, which support local infrastructure like the Rendering Plant Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, from the Byrd Family Cem in the north near Lumpkin to the Ebenezer Cem in the south. The transition from the ridges of Trillium Ridge to the lowlands along Squattingdown Cr illustrates the varied terrain of the Dawson and Forsyth county line.
