1960 Map of Cohutta

About this map

The Tennessee Valley floor and the rising slopes of the Chattahoochee National Forest define this area along the Georgia-Tennessee state line. Settled communities like Cohutta and Varnell are connected by the Southern Railway, which cuts through the terrain at White Cut and Masters Cut. Local history is visible in the network of country churches and burial grounds, such as Mt Olivet Cem and Gobblers Knob Ch. The map highlights the specialized use of the local watershed, featuring the Cohutta National Fish Hatchery and several springs like Varnell Spring and Sand Spring. Further south, the iconic Prater Mill sits along the winding path of Coahulla Creek, a testament to the rural industry that once centered on the region's abundant water power.
