1964 Map of Murrayville

About this map

The Chestatee River dominates this mid-century survey, its winding channel partially submerged by the fingers of Lake Sidney Lanier. This era reveals a landscape transitioning from rural agrarian roots to one defined by the reservoir's recreation and shoreline development, evidenced by the Lumpkin Co Park and the Woodmen of the World Youth Camp. Local history seekers will find remnants of Georgia's gold rush era at the Calhoun Gold Mine in the northwest, situated near Cane Cr.
