1935 Map of Cowrock

About this map

Cherokee National Forest dominates this northern Georgia survey, which focuses on the high-elevation peaks where Union, Lumpkin, and White counties converge. This 1935 advance sheet captures the path of the Appalachian Trail as it winds along the Blue Ridge crest, passing through Tesnatee Gap and the summit of Cowrock Mtn. The hydrology of the area is defined by the headwaters of the Nottely River and Hatchet Creek, providing a detailed view of the drainage patterns in this corner of the Southern Appalachians.
