About this map

McLemore Cove dominates this 1946 field study of the northwest Georgia corridor, sitting between the towering heights of Lookout Mountain and Pigeon Mountain. This pocket of Walker County reveals a landscape defined by sharp ridges like Roland Ridge and deep, narrow gulfs such as McKaig Gulf and Kirkis Gulf. The settlement at Cedar Grove serves as a central hub for the valley, supported by local landmarks like Cedar Grove Ch and the Cedar Grove Cem.

The map details an intricate drainage system including West Chickamauga Creek and numerous branches like Trickum Branch and Andrews Branch. Rural life in this era is evidenced by small communities and family-named points of interest, such as Masseyville and Moore. The inclusion of the Tennessee Valley Divide and various survey points like Trion 6 highlights the topographic significance of this region where the mountains meet the deep valleys of the Hogjowl Valley.
