2020 Map of Cohutta

About this map

Prater Mill stands as a focal point in this landscape where Whitfield County, Georgia, meets the Tennessee state line. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and a series of north-south ridges including Red Clay Ridge and Whites Cut Ridge. This area shows a complex network of springs and small waterways like Coahulla Cr and Wilson Cr that historically supported local agriculture and industry. Significant historical markers include the Council Of Trees Trail and the eponymous settlement of Red Clay, a location of immense importance for its connection to Cherokee history. The presence of Whites Cut and Masters Cut along the rail corridor highlights the engineering required to traverse the Cohutta Ridge and Dry Valley. From the southern village of Varnell to the northern hills, the map documents a mix of rural homesteads, local cemeteries such as Hoskins Cem, and recreational sites like Pratermill Flight Park.
