About this map

Blairsville serves as a gateway to the Blue Ridge high country in this late-1980s landscape, where the Nottely River flows northward toward Nottely Lake. The topography is dominated by the ridges and gaps of the Chattahoochee National Forest, including the high peak of Coosa Bald. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, particularly around Choestoe and along the various creeks like Arkaqua and Coosa.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local family history in the numerous burial grounds and congregations scattered across the terrain, from the Mathis Cem and Duncan Cem near the town center to the Old Liberty Ch and New Hope Ch in the hollows. To the south, Vogel State Park encompasses Lake Trahlyta, while the Georgia Mountain Experiment Station indicates the region's agricultural research heritage.
