About this map

The Coosawattee River meanders sharply through this 1972 topography of Gordon County, Georgia, serving as the primary geographic anchor for numerous small agricultural communities. This period of the early 1970s reveals a landscape defined by localized centers such as Redbud and its namesake Redbud Sch, alongside rural settlements like Nickelsville, Fidelle, and Audubon. The presence of several community landmarks including Evergreen Ch, Mt Pleasant Ch, and Bethesda Ch underscores the genealogical importance of this quadrangle for local researchers.

South of the river, the terrain is shaped by the confluence of Salacoa Creek and its tributaries, while the distinct elevation of Red Bone Ridge rises to the southeast. The survey highlights a network of rural crossings such as Montgomery Bridge and Loves Bridge, alongside curiously named locales like Crane Eater and Hunts Corner, documenting the traditional place names and road networks before later modernization.
