As a Georgia native I am really loving this series of threads! Thank you so much for taking the time to post these! As an amateur rockhound and brand-new treasure hunting enthusiast, I'm wondering if there is a database of old maps available online? (other than the LOC) Any advice?

I live in Lincoln County, GA. off of Graball road. Which at that time was part of Wilkes County (Washington, GA) Very close to the Chenault plantation where the gold was supposedly stolen. I recently found info on a book written about the lost gold. Found it on Amazon. The name of the book is "Graball Road". Very interesting read. A good bit of it I have heard before over the years. And somethings I'd never heard
