About this map

Cohutta Springs and the surrounding wilderness of the Chattahoochee National Forest define this 1960s landscape along the Georgia-Tennessee border. The settlement pattern is concentrated along the western edge, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad runs parallel to U.S. 411, connecting the communities of Tennga, Cisco, and Crandall. This corridor reveals a mix of local industry and rural life, featuring a gravel pit, the Rostex Airport, and several local houses of worship including Liberty Ch and Mt Sumac Ch.

Eastward, the terrain transitions into a series of ridges and deep valleys, most notably Alaculsy Valley where the Conasauga River meanders toward the south. High points like Doogan Mtn and Iron Mountain dominate the skyline, while numerous gaps such as Pleasant Gap and Chicken Coop Gap mark the natural passage through the timbered slopes. The map also documents isolated outposts like Gryder Camp and a lookout tower, highlighting the area's timber and conservation focus.
