About this map

Cashes Valley and the surrounding high country of the Chattahoochee National Forest define this landscape along the border of Fannin and Gilmer counties. This 2014 representation shows a deeply textured terrain of named peaks and gaps, including Pisgah Mtn, Double Knob, and Bushy Head Mtn. The map records a significant concentration of family and community landmarks, particularly churches and their associated burying grounds, such as Mt Pleasant Baptist Church Cem Number 1 and Salem Baptist Church Cem.

Settlement patterns follow the winding creek beds and mountain gaps, with small communities like Burnett, Santaluca, and Chopped Oak appearing as quiet focal points. Modern aviation infrastructure is represented by the Blue Ridge Skyport Airport in the northeast, while the Ellijay River and Fightingtown Cr provide the primary drainage for the area. The detailed contouring illustrates the complex relief of Horse Ridge and White Cliffs, making it a valuable tool for understanding the historical geography of this section of the Blue Ridge.
