About this map

The Chattahoochee National Forest spans the northern reaches of this Georgia landscape, where the Chattahoochee River carves a path past Buck Shoals and several named river islands. This 2017 survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community defined by a dense network of local cemeteries and small settlements including Leaf, Pink, and Kinseytown. The presence of Truett-McConnell Coll in the northwest and Mountain Airpark near Benefit marks the modern evolution of land use in a region historically shaped by water power and milling.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and industrial heritage is found along the many creeks, with Stovall Mill and Rogers Mill situated near Mossy Creek. The geography is further punctuated by several low summits such as Skitt Mtn and Leadpole Mtn, while dozens of family-named ponds and lakes, like Garner Pond and Pless Pond, reflect the private landownership patterns that have persisted across generations in White County.
