1957 Map of Rainy Mountain

About this map

The Chattooga River forms a winding natural border between Georgia and South Carolina in this mid-century survey of the Blue Ridge foothills. Heavily forested and sparsely populated, the landscape is defined by the Chattahoochee National Forest and high points such as Screamer Mtn and Rainy Mtn. The Lookout Mountain Scenic Highway provides one of the few major transit corridors through the terrain, connecting small rural centers marked by local gathering places like Chechero Ch and New Hope Ch.
