1967 Map of Sugar Valley

About this map

The Southern railroad line runs along the eastern valley floor, serving as a primary transit corridor for the community of Sugar Valley and the smaller settlement of Hill City. This 1967 landscape is defined by the sharp topographical contrast between the agricultural lowlands of the Oostanaula River basin and the steep ridges of Johns Mountain and Horn Mountain. Within the Chattahoochee National Forest, many recreational and family sites are documented, including the Pocket Recreation Area and Lake Marvin. Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Friendship Ch and Herington Cem, while the industrial activity of the era is evidenced by several Clay and Gravel Pits located near the base of Baugh Mtn.
