1946 Map of Rabun Bald

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Blue Ridge Divide serpentines across this 1946 survey, marking the high-elevation boundary between Georgia and North Carolina. This landscape is defined by the peaks of the Chattahoochee National Forest and Nantahala National Forest, where summits like Rabun Bald and Flat Top loom over the headwaters of Mud Creek and Warwoman Creek. The settlement pattern in these gaps and coves reveals the isolation of mountain life, centered around local landmarks like the Locust School and the high Nantahala Flats.
