About this map

The dramatic topographical divide between Lookout Mountain and Pigeon Mountain defines this portion of Walker County. At the center of this transition lies the McLemore Cove valley, a landscape shaped by numerous watercourses including Hogjowl Creek and Mill Creek. The settlement of Cedar Grove serves as a local focal point, surrounded by historic family and community landmarks such as the Cedar Grove Cem and Antioch Cem.

Evidence of the area's geological complexity is visible in the numerous "gulfs" and gaps that notch the ridgelines, including Tatum Gulf, Anderson Gulf, and the distinctive Crow Gap. Local history researchers will find several notable burial sites preserved here, from Mount Carmel Cem near the western county line to the Rape Cem in the southeast. Significant hydrologic features like Anderson Cave Spring and Scott Lake punctuate the rugged terrain, illustrating how water has historically dictated settlement patterns in this corner of Georgia.
