About this map

Dalton serves as the focal point of this 2017 survey, where industrial and suburban expansion meets the winding course of the Conasauga River. This landscape is defined by its water-driven history, evidenced by Crown Mill Lake and the prominent Keiths Mill in the northeastern corner. The map traces the transition from the city's built environment to the protected timberlands of the Chattahoochee National Forest in the southwest.

Genealogists will find a cluster of local burial sites, including Hopewell Cem and Tilton Cem, marking older community centers like Tilton and Pratersville. The terrain is characterized by the intricate drainage of Drowning Bear Creek and the Brackett Ridges, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Dalton Municipal Airport. The Conasauga River is a central geographic feature, joined by tributaries like Holly Creek and Swamp Creek, with several historic crossing points identified, such as Loopers Bridge and Tilton Bridge.
