About this map

Summerville serves as the focal point of this Chattooga County landscape, where the Chattooga River winds through the valley floor. The town's grid is dense with street-level detail, extending westward to West Summerville and reaching toward the base of Taylor Ridge. This prominent landform dominates the center of the sheet, dividing the more developed western valley from the rural settlements of Gore and Kartah to the east.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including the Summerville Cem, Johnson Cem, and Oak Hill Cem. The southern reach of the ridge is characterized by the Chattoochee National Forest and unique local nomenclature like Lake Tightsqueeze and Tightsqueeze Gap. Higher elevations are marked by the High Point Lookout Tower on High Point, offering a clear view of the transition into Big Texas Valley near the border of Floyd County.
