About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the high ridges of the Chattahoochee National Forest on this 2017 survey, tracing a path across Horsetrough Mtn and through numerous gaps such as Poplar Stomp Gap and Low Gap. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Nottely River and the Left Fork Nottely River, which drain the steep slopes of Rattlesnake Mtn and Cass Mtn.

Lower elevations near the settlement of Town Creek reveal the area's rural character, anchored by historic community markers like the New Liberty Cem and Trackrock Cem. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the massive profile of Cedar Mtn and Wolfpen Knob, illustrating the complex network of ridges that separate Union and Towns counties. Local life is mapped along corridors like Bald Mountain Creek Rd and Dallas Collins Rd, which serve small clusters of homes and family cemeteries in the valleys.
