2017 Map of Lyerly

About this map

The Chattooga River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, framing a region defined by distinct ridges and valleys along the Georgia and Alabama border. The town of Lyerly serves as a primary hub in the south, while the community of Menlo sits tucked under the shadow of Shinbone Ridge to the north. Between these settlements, the topography is marked by narrow corridors like Shinbone Valley and Dry Valley, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. Local heritage is preserved at the Pleasant Green Church Memorial Monument and scattered burial grounds including Gamble Cem and Ami Cem. The map illustrates the rural character of the area, showing the proximity of Berryton and Perennial to the various springs and creeks, such as Raccoon Cr and Alpine Cr, that drain the watershed between Dirtseller Mtn and the northern ridges.
