2020 Map of Gainesville

About this map

Gainesville serves as the focal point of this North Georgia landscape, where the urban street grid of the county seat meets the expansive waters of Lake Sidney Lanier. The map documents a complex mix of historic institutional sites and modern suburban growth, from the downtown Hall County Courthouse and Brenau University campus to industrial corridors at Gainesville Mills and Chicopee. A significant number of local landmarks and genealogical sites are present, including Alta Vista Cem, New Holland Cem, and the Memorial Park Cem. North of the city, the flooded valley of the Chattahoochee River is navigated by several crossings like Bells Mill Bridge and Longstreet Bridge Access Point, reflecting the region's mid-century transformation into a major recreational and residential destination. Smaller settlements like White Sulphur, Oakwood, and New Holland dot the surrounding terrain, connected by a dense network of roads and the Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport.
