Course NotesMcIntosh Reserve is a 527-acre park that is adjacent to the Chattahoochee river and is the former plantation of Chief William McIntosh. The woods are relatively open although can be thick in a few areas so watching the map is a good idea. The park has less elevation changes than Chattahoochee Bend overall but the 2.5 meter contours do show a variety of reentrants throughout the park. Some complex gully and stream systems will make some legs and controls interesting. Most courses will have to cross a creek at some point which may get the feet wet. In addition, recent rains have caused the mapped intermittent marsh to be slightly wet as well. Picnic tables in the area of the race are unmapped. Map Notes
McIntosh Reserve, bordering the north side of the Chattahoochee River, is mostly ridge and reentrant terrain,
with a few large flat fields thrown in. The map uses symbols set forth in ISOM 2017. Scale for all Middle
courses is 1:10,000, with 2.5m contours. North lines are spaced at 300m. Reserve Punch BoxesIn the rare event that one or more electronic punch units fail, 3 Reserve Punch boxes are provided on the map. Use the pin punch to record your presence at the control
White Course FlaggingTwo legs on the White course are flagged with White vetting tape
