About this map

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through this high-altitude landscape of the Chattahoochee National Forest, crossing prominent gaps and peaks along the Union and Lumpkin County line. The area is defined by its deep mountain coves and the headwaters of the Etowah River and Cooper Creek. Local centers like Suches, Sarah, and Gaddistown anchor the region, while the High Valley Airpark provides a modern touch to the traditional mountain geography.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named sites, including the Pleasant Valley Cem, Cavender Cem, and Woody Cem. The topography is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Devils Kitchen and Abercrombie Bald, reflecting the isolated character of these north Georgia communities. Many secondary roads, like Canada Creek Rd E and Johnny Gap Rd, follow the natural contours of the drainages, connecting the various gaps that have historically served as the primary transit points through the Blue Ridge peaks.
