2020 Map of Nickajack Gap

About this map

Peavine Ridge and Taylor Ridge define the vertical geography of this Catoosa County region, channeling local life into narrow corridors like Peavine Valley and Wood Station Valley. The rural character is anchored by a network of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Peavine Cem and Moon - Jones Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the watershed of Little Chickamauga Cr. In the west, the community of Rock Spring serves as a local hub, home to Northwestern Technical College. The eastern edge of the map rises into the Chattahoochee National Forest, where the terrain culminates at the notable Nickajack Gap. This landscape demonstrates a persistent pattern of ridge-and-valley habitation where modern transit routes still follow the natural gaps and clearings established by early residents.
