About this map

Amicalola Falls State Park defines the western portion of this 1970s survey, where the dramatic descent of Amicalola Falls meets a network of recreation areas and campgrounds. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of the Chattahoochee National Forest, featuring prominent peaks such as Springer Mtn, Bull Mtn, and Frosty Mtn, the latter of which is marked by a Lookout Tower.

Settlement is concentrated along the valleys formed by Nimblewill Creek and Cochrans Creek, where local history is recorded at Wesley Chapel and the New Hope Ch. Smaller hamlets like Nimblewill and Afton are situated along winding roads that navigate the complex terrain. Genealogists may find value in the location of High Shoals Cem and other unnamed burial grounds near the forest boundaries. The map captures an era of established conservation and recreation, preserving the high-country character of the region.
