1957 Map of Tiger
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Tallulah Falls Railway winds through this mid-century landscape of the Chattahoochee National Forest, following the course of Tiger Creek and the Tallulah River. The settlements of Tiger, Wiley, and Lakemont are oriented around this rail corridor and the Lookout Mountain Scenic Highway. High elevations like Tiger Mountain and Screamer Mtn overlook a valley filled with local history, including several family-named burial grounds such as Roane Cem and Crukleton Cem. To the south, the waters of Lake Rabun reach toward the Tallulah Falls Powerplant, illustrating the early industrial development of Georgia's mountain river systems. Landmarks like the Drive-in Theater near Tiger and the Athens YMCA Camp provide a record of mid-century recreation and community life in Rabun County.
