1988 Map of Hightower Bald

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Tate City sits within a deep mountain valley where the Tallulah River begins its southward course toward Lake Burton. This 1988 survey captures the intersection of the Nantahala National Forest and the Chattahoochee National Forest along the high ridges of the North Carolina Georgia border. The landscape is defined by its extreme elevation, anchored by the massive Hightower Bald and the winding path of the Appalachian Scenic Trail as it crosses Bly Gap.
