About this map

The community of Fairmount serves as a central hub in this northern Georgia landscape, where the CSX Transportation line cuts through a series of prominent ridges and valleys. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Carter Mtn and Ramsaeur Mtn, with the waters of Salacoa Creek and its many tributaries, including Ninetynine Branch and Fuller Branch, draining the lowland reaches.

For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several smaller settlements like Ryo, Funkhouser, and Greely, alongside numerous family-named landmarks. Multiple burial sites are documented across the terrain, from the Shiloh Cem in the north to the Lewis Family Cem and Richardson Cem further south. The presence of the Fairmount Sch and a local Gravel Pit indicates the ongoing intersection of civic life and industrial activity within the Calico Valley region.
