About this map

Newport and Wilson Mill serve as the primary markers of settlement in this northern Georgia mountain landscape, where family heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds like Johnson Cem and Garrett Cem. The drainage of Noontootla Cr dominates the valley floor, flowing past Stock Hill and creating the landmark Noontootla Falls. This area is defined by the intersections of several county lines, including the borders of Fannin, Union, Gilmer, and Lumpkin, reflecting the complex political geography of the High Country.

Large-scale conservation and recreation efforts are evident through the presence of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the southern ridges, crossing through Three Forks and over peaks like Hawk Mtn. High elevations such as Tooni Mtn and the John Dick Mountains frame the narrow hollows where remote homesteads once relied on the waters of the Toccoa River.
