About this map

Whissenhunt Mountain and Campbell Mountain rise above the drainage of the Etowah River in this section of Georgia's Blue Ridge foothills. The landscape is marked by a legacy of resource extraction and local heritage, notably at the Barlow Mine and the nearby Bainbridge Shaft in the southeastern corner. These mining sites, alongside features like North Barlow Cut and Boston Cut, speak to the historic gold-mining activity that once dominated Lumpkin County.

Settlement patterns are visible through localized gathering points such as Buckhorn Tavern and the Davis Chapel and Davis Chapel Cemetery. The area’s geography is further defined by its recreational and institutional outposts, including Camp Wahsega in the north and Camp Glisson to the east, where the topography drops dramatically at Cane Creek Falls. From the shoals at Chuck Shoals to the small-scale aviation at Lumpkin County Wimpys Airport, the map records a blend of mountain agriculture and early 21st-century rural development.
