1914 Map of Talking Rock

About this map

Talking Rock and the surrounding river valleys of Gilmer, Pickens, and Gordon counties define this rural landscape during the early twentieth century. The topography is dominated by the winding course of the Coosawattee River and Talking Rock Creek, which carve through the foothills near Cohutta Mtn and Sevenmile Mountain. Settlement patterns follow the water and the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which services small communities like Whitestone and Talona along the eastern edge of the survey.
