About this map

Tallulah Gorge and the Tallulah River dominate the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking a dramatic geological transition at the Rabun and Habersham County line. The era's transportation infrastructure is defined by the corridor of US Hwy 23, which bypasses several smaller communities while tracing the historical influence of the Tallulah Falls Ry. Settlements like Turnerville and Hollywood are established along this central spine, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by significant water bodies, including Lake Rabun and Tallulah Falls Lake.

Genealogists can find several established houses of worship and burial grounds, such as Ebenezer Methodist Cem and Mount Zion Baptist Cem. The western portion of the map reveals a complex network of residential roads like Orchard Dr and Roberts Creek Ln, contrasting with the protected woodlands of the Chattahoochee National Forest. This survey captures the rural character of the North Georgia foothills, where modern developments like the Rockin R Airport sit alongside ridges such as Pigeon Mtn and Demoore Ridge.
