1957 Map of Lake Burton

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Lake Burton and Seed Lake dominate this North Georgia landscape, where the waters of the Tallulah River are managed by spillways at defined elevations. The map reveals a mid-century recreational and agricultural environment, notably featuring Moccasin Creek State Park and the nearby State Fish Hatchery. The rugged terrain of the Chattahoochee National Forest is punctuated by significant local landmarks like the Lookout Tower on Glassy Mtn and the Providence Sch near the Soquee River. Genealogists will find numerous family and community landmarks, including the Burton Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Staneyoaken Cem. The presence of Burton No 5 and the Scenic Highway along the eastern shoreline of the lake illustrates the area's development as a destination for travel and hydroelectric utility in the late 1950s.
