2017 Map of Lake Burton

About this map

Lake Burton dominates the landscape of the Blue Ridge foothills, its complex shoreline defined by fingers of water such as Moccasin Creek Cove and Timpson Cove. This 2017 study illustrates the modern interface between recreational waters and the protected lands of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The map captures a high-elevation terrain where the Tallulah River feeds the northern reaches of the lake while the Soquee River and its forks emerge from ridges to the southwest, including Hickorynut Ridge and Goshen Mtn.
