1959 Map of Hemp Top

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Jacks River and the Conasauga River carve through this high-elevation mountain terrain where the Tennessee and Georgia state lines meet. The landscape is defined by the massive tracts of the Cherokee National Forest and the Chattahoochee National Forest, overseen by the Ocoee Wildlife Management Area and the Rough Ridge Wildlife Management Area. This 1959 field examination shows a region focused on conservation and forestry, with limited human development clustered near the gaps and river bottoms. Local history is preserved in small landmarks such as Bethlehem Ch and Jones Cem, while the industrial past of the mountain is hinted at by the Founding Mill Creek and an area of Ruins south of the Fork. High peaks like Buckeye Mountain and Hemp Top, which features a Lookout tower, provide significant vantage points across this preserved wilderness.
