1946 Map of Cashes Valley

About this map

Fightingtown Creek winds through the northern reaches of this territory, where the borders of Fannin Co and Gilmer Co meet along the high ridges. This landscape is defined by the Blue Ridge Divide and the Chattahoochee National Forest, which shelter isolated settlements like Cashes Valley. Local life in the mid-20th century centered on landmarks such as Cashes Valley Ch and its neighboring Cashes Valley Sch, while industrial activity is represented by the presence of Higdon Mill and Jones Mill. To the southeast, the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks follow the corridor through Cherrylog, providing a vital transportation link through the mountains. The map preserves the locations of family-named sites such as Underwood Cem and Johnson Cem, offering a detailed record of the rural Georgia Highlands before modern development changed the character of these mountain hollows.
