About this map

Tennga sits at the northern edge of the Georgia-Tennessee border, marking a transition between the valley floor and the dense woodlands of the Chattahoochee National Forest. This 2017 study illustrates a landscape where small settlements like Cisco and Crandall are tethered to the highway corridor, while the eastern terrain rises into the summits of Doogan Mtn and Peaky Top. The mountain gaps, including Chicken Coop Gap and Paint Bank Gap, reveal the traditional routes used to traverse the ridges that separate the Conasauga River from its many tributaries.

Local history is preserved in names like Lost Silver Mine Rd and Booger Branch Rd, hinting at the folkloric and early industry of Murray County. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Cohutta Springs area, where Cohutta Springs Br flows near Hickory Ridge. Away from the main roads, a complex network of forest routes such as W Cow Pen Rd and Gallman Long Rd provides access to the primitive reaches of Fairy Valley and the Cherokee National Forest.
