1947 Map of Cashiers

About this map

Cashiers and High Hampton serve as the primary hubs in this mountainous corner of Jackson County, situated along the Tennessee Valley Divide. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Chattooga River and Whitewater River, flowing through the Nantahal National Forest. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through family-named landmarks like the Upper Zachary Cem and Lower Zachary Cem, alongside rural institutions such as the Montvale Sch and Pleasant Grove Ch. The map highlights the complex topography of the Blue Ridge, where ridges like Hamburg Ridge and Chattooga Ridge separate small settlements like Grimshawes and Bohaynee. At the tri-state junction where North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia meet, the historic Ellicott Rock stands as a significant boundary marker amidst the heavy contouring of the Sumter National Forest.
