1971 Map of Webb

About this map

The Coosawattee River snakes through the southern portion of this Gilmer County landscape, leading into the northern reaches of Carters Lake. This 1971 survey, updated with 1985 photorevisions, captures the transition of the river valley as water management projects altered the natural flow. In the surrounding hills of the Chattahoochee National Forest, a network of rural congregations such as Mountainton Ch, Pleasant Gap Ch, and Sunlight Ch anchor the scattered communities of Elders and Roosevelt. The western edge of Ellijay is visible where the terrain begins to level out, while the heights are marked by a Lookout Tower near New Hope. Steep creek beds like Tails Creek and Mountainton Creek define the drainage patterns of this heavily forested region.
