2017 Map of Mineral Bluff

About this map

McCaysville and Copperhill sit prominently at the northern edge of this map, marking the busy intersection of the Georgia-Tennessee border where industry and geography converge. The Toccoa River snakes through the center of the terrain, carving a path past Galloway and Curtis before widening into Hogback Bend. This survey documents a landscape of numerous small family cemeteries and rural congregations, such as Salem Number 2 Missionary Baptist Church in Union, which speak to the long-standing community ties in this corner of the Chattahoochee National Forest. To the south, the terrain descends toward the northern reaches of Blue Ridge Lake near Morganton, while the eastern portion is dominated by the winding Hothouse Valley and its namesake creek. The presence of Murphy Junction and the local road network connecting places like Mineral Bluff and Epworth illustrates the enduring residential and transit patterns of Fannin County.
