1946 Map of Noontootla

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Springer Mtn serves as a prominent anchor for the high country of Fannin County in the mid-1940s, marking a rugged landscape where the Appalachian Trail winds across the Blue Ridge crest. This survey by the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS details a mountain economy and social structure defined by creek-side settlements like Newport and Stock Hill. While the Chattahoochee National Forest encompasses much of the terrain, local life is documented through scattered landmarks such as Noontootla Ch, Bunker Hill Sch, and the Wilson Mill. The presence of the Mill Creek Trout Rearing Station and the Hawk Mtn Lookout Tower reflects the era's federal management of these highlands. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites, including Garrett Cem and Johnson Cem, often located near the headwaters of Noontootla Creek and the Toccoa River.
