About this map

Stovall Mill and the banks of the Chattahoochee River define this corner of the Georgia Piedmont, where the landscape transitions from the peaks of the Chattahoochee National Forest to the farm-dotted valleys of the south. The rural character of the 1960s is reflected in the high density of small community centers, including Kinseytown, Leaf, and Mossy Creek. The transportation and leisure patterns of the mid-century are evident in features like the Drive-in Theater and the County Landing Field located near Pink.

Religious and educational life is anchored by institutions such as Truett McConnell College and a significant number of rural churches like Bible Memory Ch, Macedonia Ch, and Bethel Ch. Water management is prominent throughout, with numerous named ponds including Alexander Pond, Glass Pond, and Seabolt Pond indicating the irrigation and agricultural needs of the era. The presence of The Shoals and islands like Buck Island and Fritch Island along the river highlights the natural riverine geography before extensive modern development.
