About this map

Noontootla and the surrounding high country of the Chattahoochee National Forest are documented here just after the war, showing a landscape defined by its remote homesteads and mountain gaps. The map records several early gathering places for the community, including the Noontootla Ch and Bunker Hill Sch, alongside numerous family burial grounds like Garrett Cem and Johnson Cem.

A notable highlight is the specialized infrastructure found in this part of the Blue Ridge, such as the Mill Creek Trout Rearing Station and the Hawk Mtn Lookout Tower on the ridge line. The Appalachian Trail winds through the southern portion of the sheet, passing through Big Stamp Gap and Hightower Gap, providing a detailed look at the trail's path before modern developments altered the surrounding wilderness.
