About this map

Nottely Lake dominates the central landscape of this North Georgia survey, its sprawling waters controlled by the Nottely Dam on the Nottely River. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment where the Chattahoochee National Forest meets the North Carolina border at the Nantahala National Forest. Small settlements like Ivylog and Bethlehem are tucked into the valleys between prominent peaks such as Davenport Mtn and Gumlog Mtn.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites and rural centers, including Bethany Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Antioch Cem. The transition from the agricultural heritage at Notalee Orchards to the preserved wilderness of the national forests is evident in the network of winding mountain roads like Murphy Hwy and Old Culberson Rd. These routes trace the legacy of early Appalachian travel through gaps such as Wolfpen Gap and Miller Gap.
