1897 Map of Dalton
USGS Topo · Published 1913About this map
Dalton stands as a vital rail junction in North Georgia, where the Western and Atlantic R. R. and Southern Ry. converge at the foot of the Blue Ridge foothills. This late-19th-century landscape is defined by its dependence on the winding Conasauga River, which served as a natural thoroughfare for freight and travel. The map meticulously documents a river-based economy that relied on numerous crossings, such as Tibbs Bridge and the Ford and Ferry, to connect the fertile valleys with the higher elevations of Cohutta Mountain and Fort Mountain.
