About this map

Sassafras Mountain and Burnt Mountain anchor this North Georgia landscape, where a network of forest roads and trails winds through the southern reaches of the Blue Ridge. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Amicalola Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries such as Huckleberry Branch and Fall Creek. The small community of Licklog is situated along the upper stretches of the creek, while the namesake settlement of Amicalola lies to the southeast near Little Amicalola Creek.

Water management is prominent across the quadrangle, evidenced by the Sequoyah Lake Dam on Séquoyah Lake and the Amicalola Creek Watershed Structure Number One Dam near Kincaid Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the Ebineezer Cemetery provides a specific point of interest in the northern portion of the map near Licklog Creek. The road system, including the Steve Tate Hwy and Honeysuckle Hwy, follows the natural contours and ridges of the mountains.
