About this map

Tallulah Falls and its famous gorge anchor this 1950s study of the Chattahoochee National Forest boundary along the Tallulah River. The map captures the industrial and recreational infrastructure of the era, from the Incline Railway near the Tallulah Falls dam to the Panther Creek Picnic Area. The landscape is dotted with several rural landmarks of significant genealogical interest, including New Liberty Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and the Kollock Cem near Hollywood.

Settlement patterns follow the high ridges and valley floors, notably at Tallulah Lodge and Turnerville. The complex topography is defined by features like Apple Pie Mtn, Stony Ridge, and the deep cut of the Tallulah Gorge. This edition provides a record of the community as it functioned before modern expansion, preserving the locations of the Tallulah Falls Sch and various local branches feeding into Lake Rabun.
