About this map

Amicalola Falls State Park and the high ridges of the Chattahoochee National Forest dominate this 1971 survey of north Georgia. The map documents a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and water features, from the heights of Springer Mtn and Frosty Mtn down to the cascading Cochrans Falls. Within the mountainous terrain, isolated communities like Nimblewill are connected by a network of unimproved roads and jeep trails that follow the winding paths of Nimblewill Creek and Cochrans Creek.

Genealogical details are preserved at sites such as Wesley Chapel Cem, High Shoals Cem, and New Hope Ch, providing anchors for family history researchers. The presence of a Lookout Tower on Frosty Mountain and several picnic areas near Amicalola Lake reflects the region's development for recreation and forestry management during this era. The map also delineates the complex county lines where Dawson Co meets Gilmer Co, Fannin Co, and Lumpkin Co.
