2014 Map of Suches

About this map

The Toccoa River flows through the northern reaches of this Georgia landscape, defining a network of coves and gaps within the Chattahoochee National Forest. This 2014 survey documents the communities of Suches, Gaddistown, Baxter, and Sarah, highlighting the intersection of Union, Fannin, and Lumpkin counties. The area is characterized by high-elevation landmarks such as Rocky Mtn and Greasy Mtn, with local travel routes like State Rte 60 and Old Hwy 76 winding through the terrain. Family history is etched into the land through numerous burial sites including Spriggs Cem, Corinth Cem, and Mt Pleasant Number 2 Cem. Modern infrastructure like the High Valley Airpark and the Woody Lake Dam exists alongside traditional landmarks like Cavender Bridge, illustrating the continued habitation and utility of these mountain gaps.
