1957 Map of Tray Mountain

About this map

The Chattahoochee National Forest dominates this high-altitude terrain, where the Appalachian Trail traces the ridgeline near Tray Mountain. This 1957 survey, updated with 1980s data, documents the complex watershed of the Hiwassee River and the Tennessee Valley Divide. In the northern reaches, the small settlement at Mountain Scene is situated near England Mill Creek, while higher elevations are marked by traditional landmarks like Stillhouse Gap and White Oak Stamp. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep coves, such as Hickory Flat Cove and Owl Hollow. To the east, the High Valley Boys Club appears near the Rabun and Habersham County lines, providing a record of mid-century land use within the Georgia mountains before further modern development.
