About this map

Blairsville sits at the northern edge of this mountain landscape, serving as a hub where the Blue Ridge Hwy and Gainesville Hwy converge. The terrain is defined by the high ridges and deep gaps of the Chattahoochee National Forest, featuring landmarks like Wellborn Mtn, Town Mtn, and the distinctive Coosa Bald. Waterways such as the Nottely River and Arkaqua Cr carve through the valleys, while Lake Trahlyta provides a centered point of interest in the southern highlands.

Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Mathis Cem, Butt Cem, and Choestoe Cem. The map traces the rural development of settlements like Owltown and Choestoe, connected by winding routes like Wolf Pen Gap Rd and Duncan Ridge Rd. From the Blairsville Airport to the various bridges crossing mountain streams, the infrastructure reflects a community shaped by its elevation and the protected forest lands surrounding it.
