1946 Map of Cashes Valley

About this map

Cashes Valley serves as a central corridor through the northern Georgia mountains, where life in the mid-1940s revolved around a network of small schools and churches like Macedonia Sch and Youngs Chapel. The landscape is divided by the Blue Ridge Divide and the Tennessee Valley Divide, topographic boundaries that dictated the paths of local water like Fightingtown Creek and the Ellijay River. Near the southeast corner, the Louisville and Nashville railroad runs parallel to a Scenic Highway, connecting the small communities of Cherrylog and White Path to the wider region.
