About this map

Blue Ridge serves as the primary hub of this 2014 survey, where the Appalachian Hwy and numerous local streets like W Main St and Summit St converge. The landscape is defined by the significant presence of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the expansive waters of Blue Ridge Lake to the east. The terrain transitions from the developed center of town to the high elevations of Rich Mountain and Big Bald Mtn along the Fannin Co and Gilmer Co border.

Historical markers of the region's agricultural and spiritual life are preserved through numerous mills and sacred sites. Locations such as Elrod Mill, Ballew Mill, and Stewart Mill trace the older water-powered industry of the valley, while the Cherry Log Baptist Church and multiple burial grounds, including Chastain Memorial Park Cem and Antioch Cem, provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians.
