2017 Map of Amicalola

About this map

Chattahoochee National Forest dominates much of this Georgia landscape where Dawson, Gilmer, and Pickens counties converge. The terrain is defined by high peaks like Amicalola Mtn, Burnt Mtn, and Sassafras Mtn, with the namesake Amicalola settlement situated on the eastern slopes. For those researching local heritage, the Ebenezer Baptist Church Cem in the northwestern corner serves as a significant landmark of community history. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Amicalola Cr and its tributaries, including Little Amicalola Cr and Huckleberry Br. Numerous small reservoirs such as Sequoyah Lake, Kincaid Lake, and Fausett Lake are tucked into the valleys, connected by a network of forest roads and trails like the Licklog Trl and Cristal Creek Trl. The map illustrates the contemporary character of this highland region, showing how modern access roads such as Burnt Mountain Rd navigate the steep elevation changes of the Blue Ridge foothills.
