2020 Map of Coosa Bald

About this map

Blairsville serves as the focal point of this northern Georgia landscape, situated where the waters of Nottely Lake meet the drainage of Butternut Cr. The map details a transition from the town center to the dense elevations of the Chattahoochee National Forest, where landmarks like Beasley Knob and Wellborn Mtn overlook the valley. Settlement patterns follow the winding course of the Nottely River and its tributaries, such as Arkaqua Cr and Wolf Cr. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Liberty Cem, Choestoe Cem, and Shady Grove Cem. Further south, the terrain becomes more dramatic near Lake Trahlyta and the Helton Creek Falls, reflecting the geography of the Blue Ridge foothills. Small communities like Choestoe and Owltown anchor the secondary valleys, connected by a network of gap roads like Old Bald Mountain Rd and Rich Gap Rd.
