About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across this high-elevation landscape, marking the border between Georgia and North Carolina within the Nantahala National Forest and Chattahoochee National Forest. The settlement of Dillard sits in the valley of the Little Tennessee River, serving as a central point between Mountain City and the northern outskirts of Clayton. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant peaks and gaps, including Wolf Knob, Patterson Gap, and Blackrock Mtn.

Evidence of the region's mountain heritage is visible in the placement of Dickerson Mill and Kilby Mill along local watercourses, while more modern developments are represented by the Heaven's Landing Airport. Genealogists and historians can trace local family lineages through sites like Wesley Chapel Cem, Germany Cem, and McCurry Cem. The presence of the Rabun Gap Nacoochee School and its associated Rabun Gap Nacoochee School Lake highlights the importance of education and community institutions in this Appalachian corridor.
