2020 Map of Tennga

About this map

Tennga and the Tennessee-Georgia state line define the northern edge of this North Georgia mountain landscape. The region is largely dominated by the protected timberlands of the Chattahoochee National Forest and Cherokee National Forest, where the terrain is marked by prominent peaks like Peaky Top and the high ridges of Iron Mountain. The Conasauga River and Jacks River flow through the valleys, carving out the Alaculsy Valley and providing the drainage for numerous creeks like Tearbritches Creek and Hickory Creek. Smaller settlements and crossroads such as Cisco, Fairy Valley, and Cohutta Springs are scattered along the western foothills, connected by local routes like Brush Town Road and Lost Silver Mine Road. This contemporary survey details a complex network of forest service roads and recreational paths, including the Sumac Creek Trail and Rocky Flats Atv Trail, illustrating the modern balance between small-town residency and expansive public wilderness.
