2014 Map of Blairsville

About this map

Blairsville serves as the focal point of this North Georgia mountain landscape, situated at the junction of Butternut Creek and several mountain gaps. The map documents the boundary between the Nantahala National Forest and the Chattahoochee National Forest, reflecting the area's transition from early industrial sites like Alexanders Mill to a more modern residential and recreational character near Nottely Lake. Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history through numerous burial grounds, including Union Memory Garden, Zebulon Cemetery, and the Henderson Cemetery. Smaller settlements such as Pine Log Village and Welch dot the narrow valleys, while prominent peaks like Gumlog Mountain and Ballard Mountain divide the watersheds. The network of winding routes like Gumlog Road and Pine Log Church Road illustrates the persistent influence of the terrain on local connectivity.
