About this map

Chattahoochee National Forest encompasses much of this Georgia landscape, dominated by the ridges of the Blue Ridge and significant elevations like Abe Mtn and Black Mtn. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the southern portion of the sheet, crossing notable landmarks such as Gooch Gap, Justus Gap, and Horse Gap. Small settlements like Suches, Sarah, and Baxter are connected by a network of mountain roads including Gaddistown Rd and Canada Creek Rd.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named burial sites, including Cavender Cem, Woody Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem near Gaddistown. The map also details the military presence at Camp Frank D Merrill in the southwest corner. The hydrology is defined by the Toccoa River and numerous tributaries such as Cooper Creek and Suches Creek, which carve deep valleys between peaks like Cavender Mtn and Pilot Mtn.
