1973 Map of Twin Springs

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines this landscape along the Alabama and Georgia border during the 1970s, as the river's waters fill the Walter F George Reservoir. This period reflects a shift toward recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Walter F George National Wildlife Refuge and facilities like the Florence Landing Recreation Area. The map provides a detailed look at the rural communities and family landmarks that predate the reservoir, such as the small settlement of Twin Springs and the McClendon Cem.
