1957 Map of Rainy Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Chattooga River forms a winding natural border between Georgia and South Carolina, anchoring this mid-century survey of the Chattahoochee National Forest. This interior mountain landscape is defined by its network of high ridges and narrow creek valleys, where small communities established themselves along the early road system. On the Georgia side, churches like New Hope Ch, Chechero Ch, and Wolf Creek Ch suggest the localized centers of social life in the 1950s. The presence of Rainy Mtn Camp near Lake Toccoa points to the area's development for recreation, while the Gaging Sta on the river indicates the ongoing management of the region's water resources. In South Carolina, the settlement at Longcreek and the Laurel Spring Ch serve as significant markers for local genealogists tracing family roots in Oconee County.
