1946 Map of Cashes Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Fightingtown Creek and the Ellijay River define the drainage of this north Georgia landscape, where agricultural clearings are carved out of the Chattahoochee National Forest. This 1946 field examination reveals a network of rural life connected by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Tennessee and Louisville Highway. Settlements like Cherrylog and Santaluca serve as anchors in a terrain marked by deep gaps such as Hudson Gap and Polecat Gap. Family and community life is documented through numerous landmarks, including Higdon Mill, the Cashes Valley School, and several churches like Macedonia Church and Mt Pleasant Church. The map also traces the Blue Ridge Divide as it cuts across the high ground of Prince Mountain and Bush Head Mountain, illustrating the relationship between the watershed and the scattered homesteads of the era.
