2014 Map of Tiger

About this map

The Tallulah River corridor in Rabun County, Georgia, anchors this 2014 survey, highlighting the distinct communities of Tiger, Wiley, and Lakemont as they follow the historic rail and highway routes southward. The landscape is defined by the significant descent of the river into Lake Rabun and Tallulah Falls Lake, a geography that historically powered the region's early hydroelectric development. The map reveals a high density of family-named landmarks and historical sites, including the Wiley Trestle and several local burial grounds such as Roane Cem and Cruckleton Cem. The northern portion transition into the southern edges of Clayton, while the eastern reaches are bounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest. This modern topo also captures modern utility and recreation sites, from the Flying Ranch Airport to the Athens YMCA Camp Lake, showing the evolution of this mountain landscape from an early industrial river valley to a contemporary residential and recreational hub.
