About this map

Hog Mountain serves as a central landmark in this 1964 survey of Gwinnett County, illustrating a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural roots to a modern infrastructure network. The map reveals a dense distribution of community-focused features, particularly country churches and their associated grounds, such as Gravel Springs Ch and Antioch Ch Cems. Near the northern border in Buford, local industrial and institutional sites appear, including the Rock Quarry Prison and the Radio Tower (WDMF).

Waterways like the Little Mulberry River and Appalachee River provide the natural drainage for the rolling terrain, while a legacy of family-named roads—like Puckett Mill Road and Bart Johnson Road—suggests long-standing land ownership patterns. The 1973 revisions, shown in purple, highlight the expansion of the regional highway system, bisecting the older road network that once connected the Harmony Sch and various local settlements.
