1964 Map of Murrayville

About this map

Lake Sidney Lanier dominates the southern landscape of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the significant impact of the 1,070-foot normal pool elevation on the local topography. The reservoir's fingers reach deep into the river valleys, flooding portions of the Chestatee River and its tributaries, while established communities like Murrayville remain on the higher ground to the east. This era shows the development of recreation and youth facilities following the lake's creation, such as the Toto Creek Recreation Site and the Woodmen of the World Youth Camp.
