1938 Map of Suches

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Suches and the surrounding high mountain gaps of Union County appear in this 1938 survey, conducted as the Chattahoochee National Forest consolidated its footprint. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of Ball Mountain and Rich Mountain, with the Toccoa River winding through the northern valley. Settlement is clustered in small pockets like Gaddistown and Baxter, where community life centered on landmarks like the Peggy Hale Sch and Mt Pleasant Ch. A notable feature of this New Deal-era landscape is the CCC Camp F1 near Woody Lake, marking the federal government's active role in mountain land management. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Mt Lebanon Sch and Spriggs Cem, along with a segment of the Appalachian Trail following the Blue Ridge divide.
