About this map

The Coosawattee River winds through this section of Gordon County, serving as a primary geographic anchor for several small settlements and river crossings. Small communities such as Nickelsville, Fidelle, and Redbud are connected by a network of winding roads, including Old Grade Rd and Nickelsville Rd. The river itself is punctuated by historic crossing points like Montgomery Bridge, Owens Bridge, and Pine Chapel Ferry Bridge, the latter of which hints at the earlier transportation methods used before modern spans were constructed.

Further south, the terrain transitions toward the Red Bone Ridges as Salacoa Creek flows toward its confluence. This area is characterized by rural land use, featuring several small bodies of water such as Moss Land Lake and Lane Lake. Genealogists may find interest in local landmarks like McEntire Cem and the uniquely named settlement of Crane Eater near the southern boundary, providing a detailed look at the local geography in the early 21st century.
