About this map

The Chattahoochee National Forest dominates this northern Georgia landscape, where the ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains create a complex network of gaps and peaks. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the high ground, passing through notable points such as Hogpen Gap and Tesnatee Gap. This area is defined by the intersection of Union, White, and Lumpkin counties, marked by landmarks like Cowrock and Wildcat Mtn.

Lower elevations toward the south reveal a more settled landscape near Yonah, where community life is anchored by historic sites. Researchers can locate several burial grounds, including the Antioch Baptist Cem and Mount Pleasant Methodist Cem. The presence of Raven Cliff Falls and Dukes Creek Falls highlights the steep hydrology of the region, while the small settlement at Yonah and surrounding rural roads like Adair Mill Rd show the persistent agricultural and timber-related patterns of the region.
