About this map

The Mountain Scene settlement and the upper reaches of the Hiwassee River characterize this 2014 survey of the North Georgia high country. This terrain is defined by the convergence of several county lines and the high ridges of the Chattahoochee National Forest, including the protected Mark Trail Wilderness. Named peaks such as Tray Mtn and Rocky Mtn tower over significant gaps that have served as vital passage points for generations.

Transport through these peaks is marked by the historical Unicoi Tpke, which cuts through the Unicoi Gap, and the winding Tray Mountain Rd. The landscape is densely packed with family-named landmarks and water features like Hickory Flat Cove, Anna Ruby Falls, and York Ridge. The complex drainage patterns of creeks such as Smith Cr and Owl Cr highlight the headwaters of the region's river systems within the Blue Ridge.
