1964 Map of Leaf

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the eastern boundary of this North Georgia landscape, winding past Smith Island and Buck Island near the historic Buck Shoals. This 1964 survey, updated with purple revisions from 1981, reveals a rural economy rooted in water power and community centers. Long-standing local landmarks like Stovall Mill and Rogers Mill sit along the tributaries, while small settlements such as Leaf, Kinseytown, and Leo are linked by Post Road and Circle Road. The map provides excellent genealogical detail through named family locations and community structures, including Dean Cem, Satterfield Store, and numerous rural congregations like Macedonia Ch and Union Grove Ch. Higher elevations such as Skitt Mountain and Leadpole Mountain overlook a terrain dotted with private ponds, reflecting the transition toward modern land use as seen at the Truett McConnell College campus.
