2017 Map of Hog Mountain

About this map

Hog Mountain serves as a central landmark in this 2017 survey of the Gwinnett County uplands, where the headwaters of several major river systems originate. The terrain is defined by the divides between the Apalachee River, Alcovy River, and Yellow River, illustrating the complex hydrology of this Georgia Piedmont region. While modern infrastructure like I-85 and sprawling residential corridors connect Buford in the northwest to Dacula in the south, the map preserves the names of older rural landmarks. Genealogists may find value in the locations of historic burial grounds such as Waters Cem, Fraiser Cem, and McElroy Cem. The landscape is further punctuated by numerous small water bodies, including Suwanee Creek Lake, Crowe Lake, and Partial Lake, reflecting a mixture of natural drainages and modern impoundments.
