About this map

Crandall and its relationship to the Louisville and Nashville railroad define the western edge of this 1971 survey, while the rugged interior of the Chattahoochee National Forest dominates the east. The landscape transitions from the rail-serviced valley into high mountain elevations, reaching landmarks like Bald Mtn and Grassy Mtn, the latter featuring a dedicated Lookout Tower.

Evidence of local industry and rural life appears in the small settlement of Hasslers Mill and several mineral sites, including mines near Fort Mtn and the aptly named Goldmine Br. Water resources are abundant, from the high-altitude Conasauga Lake with its Campground and Picnic Area to the reservoir at Fort Mountain Lake. Cultural markers such as the Cool Spring Ch and various unnamed cemeteries provide critical touchpoints for genealogists tracing families in the southern Appalachian foothills of Murray and Gilmer counties.
