2020 Map of Dawsonville

About this map

Dawsonville serves as a central hub on this northern Georgia landscape, where the Dawson County Courthouse marks the seat of local governance. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Etowah River, which draws a long arc through the center of the sheet, joined by numerous tributaries like Shoal Cr and Ammons Cr. Small rural settlements and historic crossroads such as Auraria, Burtsboro, and Dougherty are connected by a dense network of local roads, reflecting the region's long-established residential patterns. Genealogy researchers may find particular interest in the Martin Cem and Palmer Cem, or the recreational history tied to Girl Scout Camp Echo and Blackburn State Park Lake. The map illustrates a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the varied elevations of Whim Hill and Winfield Bluff.
