1947 Map of Rabun Bald

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Blue Ridge Divide winds through the heart of this 1946 field study, marking the rugged boundary between the Chattahoochee National Forest and Nantahala National Forest. Dominating the central landscape is Rabun Bald, crowned by a Lookout Tower that surveys a terrain defined by deep gaps and prominent knobs. To the northwest, the settlement of Dillard sits near the Tenn RR line, while the southern slopes descend toward Warwoman Dell and the waters of Warwoman Creek. This era of documentation highlights several family-named landmarks and essential rural infrastructure, including the Locust School and multiple isolated burying grounds like Kelly Cem and Duncan Cem. The map illustrates a mountain society deeply connected to its hydrology, with Estatoah Falls and numerous branches like Stillhouse Branch and Battle Branch carving through the granite ridges of the Georgia-North Carolina borderlands.
