1988 Map of Suches

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Suches sits at a high-elevation junction in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, serving as a focal point for the surrounding Chattahoochee National Forest. In the late 1980s, this area maintained a rural, communal character defined by institutions like Woody Gap High Sch and a series of local congregations, including Mt Pleasant Ch No 2 and Pleasant Valley Ch. The landscape is heavily dissected by the upper reaches of the Toccoa River and Etowah River, with numerous gaps such as Cooper Gap and Horse Gap providing essential passage through the steep terrain. To the south, the presence of Camp Merrill (U S Army) introduces a military footprint into the wilderness. Smaller, remote settlements like Gaddistown and Baxter are connected by winding mountain roads, while family names are preserved on the landscape at sites like Woody Cem and Spriggs Cem.
