1971 Map of Nimblewill

About this map

Amicalola Mountain dominates this topographic survey of the north Georgia highlands, where the Chattahoochee National Forest covers a complex network of ridges and river headwaters. The settlement of Nimblewill and the smaller community at Afton serve as anchors for the local road network, which transitions into Jeep Trail and primitive footpaths as the elevation rises. Notable landmarks such as Springer Mtn and Cochrans Falls define the vertical landscape, while a Lookout Tower on Frosty Mtn provided a critical vantage point for forest management. For the genealogist and local historian, the map preserves the exact locations of rural religious life at Wesley Chapel and the New Hope Ch, alongside family-named terrain like Jake Mtn and Bearden Creek. The mapping of Amicalola Falls State Park shows the development of the area for public recreation, including Amicalola Lake and various designated picnic areas.
