About this map

Scrougetown Cem and the settlement of Pisgah anchor this 1946 study of the southern Appalachians, which highlights a landscape of dispersed mountain communities and rural institutions. The intricate drainage network of the Cartecay River and Tickanetley Creek dictates the placement of crossroads like Roy and Quill, while the high ridgelines are marked by prominent landmarks such as the Rich Mtn Lookout Tower and Wolfpen Mtn.

Educational and religious life is well-documented through several country schoolhouses and churches, including Mathis Chapel School, Bucktown Sch, and River Hill Ch. The presence of the Stanley Mill and a mountain Flume indicates the early industrial and timber heritage of the Chattahoochee National Forest. This survey captures the region just as the Blue Ridge Divide remained the primary barrier to travel between Fannin and Gilmer counties.
