About this map

Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain dominate this landscape along the border of Georgia and Alabama, framing the deep corridor of Lookout Valley. The county seat of Trenton sits at the northern end of this valley, where the Dade County Courthouse serves as a central landmark for the surrounding communities of Rising Fawn, Union, and Gass. The topography is defined by sharp elevation changes, with numerous gaps and gulches providing passage through the ridges, such as Magby Gap, Brown Gap, and Stewart Gulch.

Family history is preserved through a network of rural cemeteries scattered across the high plateaus and valley floors, including Daniel Cem, Newman Cem, and the Company Cem near Hurricane Cr. The transition from the flat terrain of Well Flat to the steep ravines of Deer Head Cove and Johnson Crook illustrates the complex drainage patterns of Lookout Creek and its many tributaries. This detailed survey captures the contemporary road network and small settlements like Floral Crest and Higdon that maintain the region's rural character.
