1957 Map of Jacks Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Chattahoochee National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which includes portions of Union, Towns, and White counties. The topography is defined by the Blue Ridge Divide and the Valley Divide, where the legendary Appalachian Trail follows the high ridgelines through Wolf Stake Gap and over Sheep Rock Top. This 1957 survey captures the rural infrastructure of the North Georgia highlands, highlighting the settlement at Town and nearby educational and spiritual centers like Town Creek Sch, Old Liberty Ch, and Pine Top Ch. The drainage patterns are intricate, with the Nottely River and creeks such as Arkaqua Creek and Stink Smell Creek carving deep valleys between peaks like Cedar Mtn and Frozentop. A significant historical transport corridor is also visible in the form of the Unicoi Turnpike, which crosses the southern portion of the map.
