About this map

Summerville serves as the focal point of this Chattooga County landscape, anchored by the Chattooga County Courthouse and the nearby Summerville Cem. The town sits at the edge of a varied terrain where the Chattooga River winds through the valley floor, buffered by the higher elevations of Taylor Ridge and Simms Mtn. The map reveals a mix of civic infrastructure and natural features, including the Chattahoochee National Forest which covers the central high ground.

Local history is preserved in several smaller sites like Johnson Cem and the Oak Hill Missionary Baptist Church Cem near Gore. Notable geographical curiosities like Tightsqueeze Gap and Jenkins Gap provide passage through the ridges, while water bodies such as Wildlife Lake and Maddox Lake dot the lowlands. The survey also captures the boundary where Chattooga and Floyd counties meet in the south.
