Standing Peachtree Trail (reported route)
Local compilations describe an east-west trail to Standing Peachtree roughly along North Decatur Road, Rock Springs Road, Montgomery Ferry Road and Collier Road. It is poorly documented.
The record
An online compilation of Atlanta-area Indian trails lists a 'Standing Peachtree Trail' running west on a line approximated by North Decatur Road through Druid Hills, Rock Springs Road through Morningside, part of Montgomery Ferry Road across Piedmont Heights, and Collier Road toward DeFoors Ferry Road; it cites no primary source for this route. The New Georgia Encyclopedia says Stone Mountain's trail connections made it a Creek-Cherokee meeting place but does not map them. Treat this route as a hypothesis, not a documented trail.
Today: The named roads exist; the trail itself is not documented on the ground.
Where on the map: N Decatur Rd (Druid Hills) -> Rock Springs Rd NE (Morningside) -> Montgomery Ferry Rd/Dr (Piedmont Heights) -> Collier Rd (Collier Hills) -> DeFoors Ferry Rd -> the Chattahoochee near Standing Peachtree. No documented eastern link to Stone Mountain.
