About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide bisects the northern reach of this landscape, marking the high boundary between the Cherokee National Forest and the Chattahoochee National Forest. This terrain is defined by the convergence of the Blue Ridge and significant water systems like the Jacks River and Conasauga Cr. Significant hiking corridors including the Benton MacKaye and Pinhoti trails traverse these ridges, crossing through gaps such as Dally Gap and Indian Grave Gap. Evidence of long-standing local presence is found at the Jones Cem, situated near Wagon Road Ridge. The map details a complex network of forest roads and trails, such as the Jacks River Rd and the E Cowpen Trl, which navigate a landscape of deep coves like Peter Cove and steep leads like Tumbling Lead.
