About this map

The industrial and residential growth of Dalton and its northern neighbors is evident in this late-2010s survey. The landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley terrain of Hamilton Mtn and Mt Rachel, which dictate the placement of both residential streets and major thoroughfares. Genealogical interest is concentrated in the many resting places found here, including Fairground Cem, West Hill Cem, and the Whitfield Memorial Gardens.

Outside the urban center, smaller communities like Varnell, Waring, and Pleasant Grove maintain their identities along the drainage systems of Coahulla Creek and Crow Valley Cr. The presence of the Chattahoochee National Forest at the western edge and various island formations like Randolph Island and Thomas Island illustrates how the physical geography shaped the development of Whitfield Co over generations.
