1894 Map of Suwanee

About this map

Chattahoochee River crossings and gold mining sites define this late 19th-century landscape across North Georgia. The terrain transitions from the marble quarries near Tate and Marble Hill in the north down toward the expanding settlements of Alpharetta and Roswell. A complex network of river transport is evident through numerous family-named crossings such as Gilstrap Ferry, Shadburn Ferry, and Abbot Ferry, which served local commerce before modern bridging.
