About this map

Tiger and its neighboring mountain settlements represent the high-elevation landscape of northeast Georgia. The southern portion of this area is dominated by the waters of the Tallulah River, where Lake Rabun and Tallulah Falls Lake create a distinct shoreline at the foot of Rocky Mountain. These reservoirs, managed at the Athens YMCA Camp Dam, define the local topography alongside numerous named peaks like Screamer Mountain and Tiger Mountain.

Tracing the transportation corridors reveals the Wiley Trestle and a network of mountain roads such as Seed Tick Rd and Grasshopper Ln. For those researching family history, several burial grounds are scattered across the ridges, including Roane Cemetery near Owl Mountain and Cruckleton Cemetery on Cruckleton Ridge. The map identifies established gathering places like Camp Dixie and the Athens Y M C A Camp, which have long served as landmarks in this part of the Blue Ridge.
