About this map

White Oak Mountain and Cherokee Ridge dominate this North Georgia landscape, directing the flow of South Chickamauga Creek and its many tributaries like Hurricane Creek. The 1946 survey, later updated in 1967, captures a rural region defined by its ridge-and-valley topography and a network of country churches including Stone Ch, Lees Chapel, and the Nellie Head Memorial Church.

Transport is anchored by the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis RR and the Dixie Highway, which skirt the edges of settlements like Shookville and Sugartown. Of particular historical interest is the large US Military Reservation and the Catoosa Springs area, alongside the sprawling Chattahoochee National Forest in the south. Genealogists can locate family landmarks such as Gordy Cem and Anderson Cem, or schools like Union Academy.
