About this map

Chattahoochee National Forest lands dominate the center of this Georgia study, where the Middle Fork Broad River and N-Fork Broad River carve through a landscape of ridges and named peaks. The terrain is defined by elevations such as Dicks Hill, Davis Mtn, and the prominent Currahee Mtn on the eastern edge. Local history is anchored by dispersed settlements like Ayersville, New Switzerland, and Mount Airy, with numerous small family and community burial grounds including Loudermilk Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem scattered throughout the hills.

Water management is evident in the series of reservoirs, such as Reservoir Number Twelve and Reservoir Number Nineteen, which support the regional hydrology alongside natural features like Hazel Creek and Lake Irvin. The infrastructure of the area is highlighted by the North Fork Trestle and a network of rural roads that connect these upland communities, providing a detailed look at the interface between protected forest land and established Habersham and Stephens County homesteads.
