1964 Map of Matt

About this map

Matt and Heardville anchor this landscape of north Georgia, where the Etowah River and Amicalola Creek carve through the terrain near the border of Dawson and Forsyth counties. The mid-20th-century road network is defined by numerous family-named routes and functional crossings, including a Covered Bridge on Settingdown Creek. Large portions of the northern section are occupied by the U S Air Force Reservation, creating a distinct boundary between military land and the surrounding rural communities. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of local landmarks, from Mt Tabor Ch and Salem Ch to the Heard Cem and Sewell Cem. The map also documents the local economy and recreation of the era, showing several Gravel Pits and the Twin Lakes area, alongside specialized features like the Drag Strip Road.
