1957 Map of Jacks Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Chattahoochee National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape where the boundaries of Towns, Union, and White counties converge. The rugged terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, a natural barrier traversed by the iconic Appalachian Trail as it winds past Horsetrough Mtn and through several gaps. Small pockets of settlement appear in the valleys, particularly around the Town community, where Town Creek Sch and Old Liberty Ch served as local landmarks for rural families. A Lookout Tower atop one of the peaks provides a vantage point over the dense network of named watercourses, including Arkaqua Creek and Fodder Creek, illustrating the remote and densely forested character of the Blue Ridge Mountains during this era of federal land management.
