1903 Map of Dahlonega

About this map

The Dahlonega gold belt and the high peaks of the Blue Ridge define this landscape at the opening of the twentieth century. The map centers on the transition from the mountain ridges of Brasstown Bald and the Loras Range Mts. down toward the valley settlements of Cleveland and Clarkesville. The drainage patterns of the Chestatee River and Chattahoochee River are intricately detailed, showing the network of creeks that supported early mountain agriculture and industry.
