1959 Map of Dyer Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Cherokee National Forest territory along the high ridges of North Georgia is documented in this survey, showing the mountain passes and peaks before modern development. The map follows a primary Ridge line that serves as a natural barrier and a point of orientation, marked by a series of high-altitude crossings including Dyer Gap, Newt Gap, and Halloway Gap. A notable landmark of the era is the Flat Top Fire Tower, situated on a peak near the boundary between Fannin Co and Gilmer Co. This advance sheet, based on field examinations from the mid-1930s, focuses on the high-elevation terrain where the headwaters of Postelle Creek begin their descent. It is a specialized record of forestry and fire prevention infrastructure in the Appalachian highlands.
