About this map

Tennga and the Conasauga River valley define the northern reach of Murray County where Georgia meets Tennessee. This landscape is characterized by the convergence of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Cherokee National Forest, creating a transition from the rolling terrain near Cisco to the high ridges of Doogan Mtn. Notable for its many family-named hollows and landmarks, the area includes historical points such as Cohutta Springs and the small settlement of Alaculsy tucked into the Alaculsy Valley.

Transportation corridors follow the natural topography, with Us-411 and Highway 411 N cutting through the western portion of the quadrangle. High-elevation gaps like Chicken Coop Gap, Paint Bank Gap, and Pleasant Gap indicate the historic passage points through the dense forest. Water features are abundant, from the Jacks River in the northeast to the various branches of Sumac Cr, providing a detailed look at the hydrology that supported early settlements like Fairy Valley.
