2020 Map of Talking Rock

About this map

Talking Rock Creek carves a deep path through this North Georgia landscape, winding past the settlements of Talking Rock and Blaine. The map documents a corridor of community history defined by its rural churches and burial grounds, including the Mount Pisgah Baptist Church Cem and the Berean Baptist Church Cem. Near the northern edge, Carters Lake reaches into the terrain, while the eastern side is marked by the industrial and residential clusters at Whitestone and the family-named landmark at Carns Mill. The area's topography is anchored by prominent heights like Doll Mtn and Log Round Mtn, which overlook a network of creeks such as Scarecorn Cr and Talona Cr. This survey provides a modern view of Gilmer and Pickens counties, showing how contemporary infrastructure like the Gilmer County Airport integrates with long-standing local landmarks.
