About this map

Lake Russell and the Nancy Town Lake form the northern anchor of this landscape within the Chattahoochee National Forest. The Middle Fork Broad River winds through a heavily wooded terrain marked by prominent heights like Red Roof Mountain and Wells Mountain. Settlement patterns in the mid-1960s are defined by quiet rural intersections such as Pinefield Crossroads and Odis Crossroads.

Cultural landmarks and community centers are scattered throughout the hills, including Union Hill Ch and the Banks County Speedway. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds like Moss Cem and Payne Cem, while the educational landscape is represented by Grady Sch. The map records a time before extensive modern development, showing the river crossings at Line Bridge and Kesler Bridge and the marshy expanses of Pritchett Swamp to the south.
