1965 Map of Mulky Gap

About this map

Chattahoochee National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the ridges of northern Georgia transition between the Union and Fannin county line. Local life centers on the valleys along Youngcane Creek and Jones Creek, where the rural infrastructure of the era is evident in places like the Youngcane Sch and Philadelphia Ch. The map captures a moment when the regional landscape was managed for both conservation and community, illustrated by the Cooper Creek Scenic Area and the Mulky Gap Camping Area tucked into the mountain gaps.
