1964 Map of Murrayville

About this map

Calhoun Gold Mine sits near the northern boundary of this survey, a reminder of the gold mining history that shaped this section of northern Georgia. The landscape is dominated by the complex, branching fingers of Lake Sidney Lanier, particularly where it meets the Chestatee River. The creation of the reservoir altered the local geography, visible here in the submerged contours and the presence of new facilities like the Toto Creek Recreation Site and the Woodmen of the World Youth Camp. Local life centers around rural crossroads and spiritual hubs such as Murrayville, Hickory Grove Ch, and Soules Chapel. The mapping also reveals a dense network of named creeks, including Little Yellow Creek and Wahoo Creek, which feed into the main waterway. This 1985 revision tracks the expansion of local infrastructure like the Toto Creek Bridge and the Lanier Sch.
