1959 Map of Dyer Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Cohutta Mountain and the Parkis Ridge dominate this rugged terrain at the intersection of Fannin, Gilmer, and Murray counties. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Cohutta Wildlife Management Area, where numerous gaps like Dyer Gap and Sassafras Gap provided essential passage through the Blue Ridge Mountain range. While primarily mountainous, the southern portion of the map reveals the social fabric of the era through scattered landmarks such as the Henry Grady Sch and Nine Mile Ch. These features, along with Zion Hill Ch and several small cemeteries, indicate a dispersed rural community reliant on a network of wagon and jeep tracks. The drainage patterns of the Conasauga River and Mountaintown Creek shaped the early settlement locations, including the remote Law Grounds.
