About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a winding path through this corner of Georgia, serving as a natural boundary between several counties. In the northern reaches, the river separates Douglas and Fulton counties, while further south it divides Carroll and Fulton. The landscape is dotted with small rural centers like Fairplay, McWhorter, and Rico, connected by a network of local roads such as Capps Ferry Rd and Wilson Rd.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered burial grounds, including Bethel Cem and County Line Cem, which mark the community hubs of earlier generations. Unique landmarks like the Devils Den terrain feature and various local water bodies, such as Basket Cr Lake and Smith Lake, provide specific points of reference for local historians. The map also captures the extent of Chattahoochee Hills as it existed in the late 2010s, showing a transition between rural crossroads and growing residential pockets.
