About this map

McLemore Cove defines the central landscape of this Northwest Georgia survey, where the valley floor is punctuated by the small settlement of Cedar Grove. The terrain is characterized by steep, parallel ridges including Shankle Ridge and Roland Ridge, which separate the cove from the high plateau of Pigeon Mountain to the east and Lookout Mountain to the west. This mapping of Walker and Dade counties reveals a dispersed network of rural heritage sites, including family-named landmarks like McWhorter Gulf and Rape Gap.

The local genealogy is well-documented through numerous small churches and burial grounds, such as Mt Carmel Ch and Old Antioch Cem. The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through the western portion of the sheet, marking a significant hydrological boundary. Traces of 20th-century life are evident in features like the Landing Strip near Cedar Grove Creek and the youth facility at Camp Adahi, reflecting the area's mix of agriculture and recreation.
