2020 Map of Blairsville

About this map

Blairsville serves as the focal point of this North Georgia mountain landscape, dominated by the intersection of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Nantahala National Forest. The map documents the civic core of the area at the Union County Courthouse, surrounded by smaller community settlements like Youngstown and Pine Log Village. The terrain is defined by complex ridgelines and gaps, including Gumlog Mtn and Ballard Gap, which direct the flow of numerous waterways such as Butternut Cr and Ivylog Cr. This survey illustrates a modern mountain region where traditional rural markers, such as the Zebulon Cem and Hunt Cem, coexist with the recreational geography of Nottely Lake and Canal Lake. The mapping of old logging routes like Ivy Logging Rd and Fort-Gum Logging Rd reflects the area's timber history persisting within the protected forest boundaries.
