About this map

Epworth and the surrounding borderlands between Fannin Co, Georgia, and Polk Co, Tennessee, define this landscape of the Southern Appalachians. The terrain is marked by deep coves and ridges, such as Couch Cove and Turkeypen Ridge, where historic mountain settlements like Lickskillet and Pierceville were established. Industrial and agricultural heritage is evident along the waterways, with Patterson Mill situated near the Ocoee River and Galloway Mill located to the southeast.

Transit through these mountains relies on historic crossings like Johnson Ford and the Mc Kinney Bridge over Fightingtown Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Patterson Cem near Dunn and the Millsaps Cem at Oasis. The map also captures the sprawling reach of the Chattahoochee National Forest and Cherokee National Forest, which occupy much of the highland areas around Buckner Mtn and Mary Ridge.
