1971 Map of Webb

About this map

The Coosawattee River snakes through this North Georgia landscape, captured during a period of transition as the basin began to fill following the creation of Carters Lake. This survey reveals a community anchored by rural congregations such as New Hope Ch, Tails Creek Ch, and Pleasant Grove Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted social geography of Gilmer County. Significant terrain features like Pleasant Gap and the dense canopy of the Chattahoochee National Forest dominate the northern half of the sheet. Small settlements like Ollie, Elders, and Roosevelt are shown alongside local infrastructure including the County Airport and a prominent Lookout Tower. The map provides a look at the winding river valley just before much of the shoreline was permanently altered, making it a valuable tool for tracing family land and vanished creek-side crossings.
