1988 Map of Cashes Valley

About this map

Fightingtown Creek flows through this corner of the North Georgia mountains, anchoring a landscape of family-named gaps and ridges within the Chattahoochee National Forest. This late-1980s data illustrates a transition from remote mountain homesteads toward localized development, with the Gilmer Co Golf Course appearing near White Path along the Ellijay River. Genealogists will find a detailed distribution of rural faith and burial sites, including the Cashes Valley Church of Christ and the Johnson Cem tucked behind Horse Ridge. Small settlements like Cherry Log and Santaluca sit along established valley routes, while 4-wheel drive tracks reach into the high country toward Hudson Gap and Frozen Knob. The map clearly delineates the Fannin and Gilmer County line as it cuts across the ridgelines of the Blue Ridge.
