1891 Map of Gainesville
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
Gainesville serves as the primary hub of this North Georgia survey, situated where the Richmond and Danville Railroad intersects the Gainesville Jefferson and Southern Railroad. This late 19th-century landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Chattahoochee River and Middle Oconee River, a region then heavily reliant on river crossings and localized milling. Notable for genealogists are the numerous family-named river features, including Stringers Fd, Wooléys Ford, and William's Ferry, which illustrate the transportation network before modern bridging.
