1964 Map of Matt

About this map

The Etowah River winds through this landscape on the border of Forsyth and Dawson Counties, anchoring a rural network of small communities and family-named homesteads. Centered on the settlement of Matt, the area is defined by its numerous tributaries, including Settingdown Creek, Yellow Creek, and Cogburn Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the 1960s rural infrastructure, where local roads like Matt Road and Wright Bridge Road connect isolated churches and family burial grounds. Notable landmarks include the Us Air Force Reservation in the northeast and several resource extraction sites like the Gravel Pits near the river. For genealogists and local historians, the specific placement of Salem Ch, Mt Tabor Cem, and Sewell Cem offers precise locations for ancestral research in this upland Piedmont terrain.
