About this map

Pooles Mill Covered Bridge spans the northern reaches of Settingdown Creek, a central feature in this portion of Forsyth and Dawson Counties. The landscape is characterized by a series of engineered water bodies, including Settingdown Cr Reservoir Number Two, Reservoir Number One, and Reservoir Four, which punctuate the drainage basins of the Etowah River and Amicalola Creek. These reservoirs suggest modern water management alongside historic land patterns.

Genealogists will find a concentration of family and community burial sites such as Heard Cem, Poole Cem, and Sewell Cem. The map documents established communities like Matt, Barrettsville, and Heardville, many linked by historic corridors such as Old Kelly Bridge Rd and Salem Church Rd. From the elevation at Yellow Hill to the banks of Thalley Cr, the map provides a clear record of rural North Georgia's evolving topography.
