About this map

Chattahoochee National Forest spans this 1947 survey, where the rugged Blue Ridge terrain is defined by the Tenn Valley Divide. This high-country landscape serves as a meeting point for Fannin, Gilmer, Union, and Lumpkin counties. The drainage patterns of Noontootla Creek and the Toccoa River dictate the placement of small mountain settlements like Newport and Stock Hill.

Genealogists can locate several family burial grounds, including Garrett Cem and Johnson Cem, while the presence of the Bunker Hill Sch and Noontootla Ch indicates a dispersed but established community. The map also traces a significant stretch of the Appalachian Trail as it winds toward its southern terminus at Springer Mtn. Other notable land uses include the Trout Rearing Station on Mill Creek and a Lookout Tower atop Hawk Mtn.
