That's a really cool set of pictures! I'd like to see a collection of old Lake Martin pictures if anyone has them online and would like to share. I don't live on or around Lake Martin but I grew up visiting the lake every year of my life starting in 1975. I unfortunately don't have interesting pictures to share other than some that were shot during the '86 drought around the little Kowaliga Creek area on a 110 camera - not that interesting since winter pool was lower than the water level that summer.

Anyhow, I'm fascinated with the history of Lake Martin so if anyone shares that interest and wants to share some photos, that would be awesome!

BTW, I bought Harvey Jackson's book "Putting "Loafing Streams" to Work: The Building of the Lay, Mitchell, Martin, and Jordan Dams, 1910-1929" It has far fewer pictures than I would have liked but the text is still pretty interesting. Based on the picture in the book of the Hwy 63 bridge, this picture looks similar. Maybe it is the old 280 bridge?
