About this map

Newport and Stock Hill sit amidst the high elevations of the Chattahoochee National Forest in this 2020 topographic study. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major mountain trails, most notably where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Benton Mackaye traverse ridges near Springer Mtn. This area serves as a critical watershed for the North Georgia mountains, with Noontootla Creek flowing past Noontootla Falls and the Toccoa River providing a corridor for the Toccoa Canoe Trail.

Local history is preserved in a network of family and community burial grounds, including Johnson Cemetery and Stock Hill Cemetery. The presence of the Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery on Rock Creek underscores the region's focus on conservation and natural resources. Notable gaps like Hightower Gap and Winding Stair Gap highlight the traditional mountain passes used to navigate the Fannin and Gilmer county lines.
