2020 Map of Rabun Bald

About this map

Mountain City and the high-elevation community of Sky Valley anchor this study of the Blue Ridge landscape where Georgia meets North Carolina. The map documents a complex network of ridgeline gaps and peaks, including the prominent Rabun Bald and the Tennessee Valley Divide, which separates the Atlantic and Gulf watersheds. Evidence of early infrastructure and local heritage is preserved through labels like the Black Diamond Tunnel and numerous family burying grounds, such as Green Cem and Kell Cem. The transition from the Nantahala National Forest to the Chattahoochee National Forest marks much of the terrain, while legacy sites like the Locust School and Warwoman Dell provide specific touchpoints for local historians. This 2020 edition detail provides a modern inventory of the roads, trails, and watercourses like Warwoman Cr and Tuckaluge Cr that have defined the region's movement patterns for generations.
