1964 Map of Hog Mountain

About this map

Hog Mountain serves as a prominent geographic anchor in this 1960s landscape, marking the headwaters for several major Georgia drainage systems. The survey captures the rural character of northern Gwinnett County before its later suburban transformation, documented through a dense network of family-named roads and community landmarks. The Apalachee River, Alcovy River, and Yellow River all trace their beginnings here, alongside the Little Mulberry River. This period shows the transition from agrarian roots to modern infrastructure, where established institutions like Gravel Springs Ch and Harmony Sch coexist with the growing footprint of Buford and the Rock Quarry Prison. Small family and community ties are evident in the proximity of Ivy Creek Ch, Old Ivy Ch, and Waters Cem, while man-made water features such as Crowe Lakes and Hogan Lake indicate shifting land use in the mid-20th century.
