2020 Map of Dougherty Gap

About this map

Pigeon Mtn and Lookout Mountain define the high elevations of this corridor where the boundaries of Walker and Chattooga counties meet. The landscape is characterized by its deep, named gulfs and gaps, such as Dougherty Gap, Harrisburg Gulf, and Chelsea Gulf, which channel the movement of water and travel through the valley floors. At the base of these ridges, small settlements like Teloga and Chelsea are situated near vital water sources including Teloga Cr and Chelsea Cr. The agricultural and residential history of the area is anchored by local landmarks like Mcconels Bridge and family-associated burial sites including Hemphill Cem and Garrett Cem. Between McLemore Cove and Shinbone Valley, the map reveals a network of mountain roads and landings, including Hogjowl Airport and Wyatt Airport, that connected these relatively isolated upland communities.
