1983 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Lookout Mountain dominates the landscape of this 1983 survey, where the rugged terrain of northwest Georgia drops sharply into the Chattanooga Valley. The settlement of Durham and the nearby Mines reflect the region's industrial past, connected by an Old Railroad Grade that winds along the high ridges. This era captures the transition of the land toward conservation and recreation, centered on the expansive Cloudland Canyon State Park and its geological landmarks like Case Cavern and Whiteoak Spring. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks, including the Gillen Sch and a network of country churches such as New Salem Ch and Lookout Mtn Ch. From the western edge at Trenton to the eastern valley settlements of Cooper Heights and Kensington, the map documents a complex tapestry of family-named cemeteries like Hawkins Cem and Singleterry Cem tucked between gaps and gulches.
