About this map

Nantahala National Forest and Chattahoochee National Forest converge at the North Carolina and Georgia state line, framing a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Little Tennessee River. The area around Dillard and Mountain City serves as a corridor of settlement between prominent peaks like Blackrock Mtn and Ridgepole Mtn. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds along the northern ridges, crossing Carter Gap and Nichols Gap, while the valley floor below preserves local history at the Dickerson Mill and Kilby Mill sites.

Local infrastructure is concentrated along the river valley, where the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School and the Rabun County Courthouse in Clayton mark the administrative and educational centers of the county. Smaller communities like Germany and the airport at Heaven's Landing sit tucked away in the surrounding folds of the Blue Ridge, accompanied by long-standing landmarks such as the Wesley Chapel Cem and McCurry Cem.
