About this map

Kingston serves as a central hub in this early 1970s topographical record of Bartow County, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the Etowah River. The landscape is a complex network of water and early infrastructure, featuring the meandering Euharlee Creek and its notable Covered Bridge. Further south, the small settlement of Euharlee sits near the river's bend, while Five Forks marks a rural intersection to the southwest.

Local landmarks such as Saltpeter Cave and numerous country churches, including Shiloh Ch and Zion Hill Ch, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The presence of an Old RR Grade and a Quarry near the northern boundary reflects the industrial and transportation shifts of the era. From the wetlands of Drummond Swamp to the elevation of Hodge Mtn, the map preserves the physical state of the Georgia countryside before significant modern development.
