About this map

Coosawattee River waters dominate the northern reaches of this landscape, feeding into Carters Lake and the Reregulation Reservoir. This area of Northwest Georgia is characterized by a series of small, established settlements that line the primary road corridors, including Oakman, Colima, and Ranger. The map details a complex intersection of county lines where Gordon, Murray, Gilmer, and Pickens counties meet among the ridges.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like Shady Grove Baptist Church Cem near Blalock Mtn and the smaller hamlets of Sweden and McDaniel to the southeast. The terrain is defined by numerous watercourses such as Talking Rock Creek and Redbud Cr, alongside localized landmarks like Hopper Lake and Evans Lake, which suggest a long-standing pattern of rural land use and valley settlement.
