About this map

Lake Burton and the Chattahoochee National Forest dominate this Northeast Georgia terrain, where the headwaters of the Tallulah River and Soquee River meet. The map documents a landscape of significant relief, from the heights of Muley Mtn and Glassy Mtn down to the intricate shoreline of the reservoir. Notable for local history and genealogy, several family and community burial grounds are preserved across the ridges, including Stoneyciphen Cem, Burton Cem, and Mt Zion Cem.

Settlement patterns follow the winding course of State Route 197, which connects the Wikle Store area in the south to the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map captures the complex topography of the Rabun and Habersham county line, marked by distinctive features like Billy Goat Island and the King Sky Ranch Airport. This digital-era survey provides a precise view of the interface between protected forest lands and the developed lakefront communities.
