2011 Map of Tickanetley

About this map

Tickanetley sits at the heart of this North Georgia terrain, where the waters of the Cartecay River and Tickanetley Creek have shaped the settlement patterns of eastern Gilmer County. In 2011, this landscape was defined by its network of mountain gaps and small, scattered communities like Diamond, Quill, and Rolston. The geography is heavily influenced by water management, visible in the series of watershed structures such as Cartecay Watershed Dam Number One and Cartecay River Watershed Structure Number Five Dam, which created local landmarks like Garland Lake and Diamond Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including the Pisgah Cemetery, Macedonia Cemetery, and Scrougetown Cemetery. From the heights of Tickanetley Bald to the family-named landmarks like Marion Clayton Mountain and Kimmons Mountain, the map reveals a region where high ridges and deep gaps, such as Hardslate Gap and Doublehead Gap, dictate the winding paths of rural roads.
