2014 Map of Macedonia

About this map

Chatuge Lake dominates the western landscape of this Georgia mountain region, where the Hiwassee River feeds into the reservoir. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges and narrow coves, including Bearmeat Gap and Brush Ridge, which transition into the protected expanses of the Chattahoochee National Forest and Nantahala National Forest at the state line. Small communities and family settlements like Macedonia and Osborn are situated along the valley floors, connected by historic routes such as Upper Hightower Rd and Kelly Bridge. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout these coves, including the Macedonia Cem, Osborn Cem, and Ivy Mtn Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted family histories of Towns County and the adjacent Rabun County borderlands.
