About this map

Big Frog Mtn and the high ridges along the Tennessee Valley Divide dominate this landscape where the Cherokee National Forest and Chattahoochee National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain gaps and leads, including Indian Grave Gap, Rockwall Gap, and Tumbling Lead. Historical transport and movement are recorded in features like Wagon Road Ridge and the E Cowpen Trl, which follow the natural contours of the land.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Jacks River winding through the center of the sheet, fed by numerous tributaries such as Pounding Mill Br and Penitentiary Br. Evidence of local history is found at the Jones Cem, situated near Wagon Road Ridge. This 2014 survey documents the convergence of Fannin and Murray counties in Georgia with Polk County, Tennessee, amidst the significant elevations of Hemp Top and Three Forks Mtn.
