About this map

Stock Hill and its surrounding mountain ridges define this 1988 landscape, where local life centered on small settlements and church congregations. This part of the Chattahoochee National Forest is characterized by its high-elevation terrain along the Blue Ridge and the Tennessee Valley Divide. The map details numerous family and community landmarks, including the Fellowship Primitive Ch and several burial grounds like Garrett Cem and Kirby Cem.

The presence of the Benton MacKaye Trail and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail intersecting at Three Forks highlights the area's importance for transit and outdoor recreation. Water sources are abundant, from the Toccoa River in the north to high-altitude features like Noontootla Falls and the Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery. The intricate network of forest roads like Noontootla Road provides access through gaps such as Bryson Gap and Fryingpan Gap.
