About this map

Tate City sits deep in the mountain valleys along the Tallulah River in this postwar survey of the Georgia-North Carolina border. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Nantahala National Forest and Chattahoochee National Forest, where the Appalachian Trail winds through prominent gaps like Bly Gap and Plumorchard Gap. This era reveals a network of rural community landmarks, including the Plumorchard Ch and local education centers like the Pleasant Hill Sch and Tate City Sch.
