About this map

Calhoun Gold Mine and Turkey Hill Mine stand as prominent reminders of the region's mining heritage, situated in the hilly terrain north of the Chestatee River. By the early twenty-first century, this landscape in Lumpkin County reflects a transition from extraction to recreation and residential growth. The sprawling reach of Lake Sidney Lanier dominates the southern half of the map, with fingers of the reservoir reaching up to Wilkie Bridge and the Toto Creek Access Point.

Smaller residential clusters like Broadnax, Welchel, and Murrayville are interspersed between forested tracts and modern developments. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting the location of Yellow Creek Cemetery, Cool Springs Cemetery, and Rock Hill Cemetery. Notable landmarks such as the Woodmen of the World Youth Camp and the Dahlonega Quarry further illustrate the diverse land use in this Georgia Piedmont corridor.
