2014 Map of Trion

About this map

The Chattooga River winds through this Northwest Georgia landscape, anchoring a series of small communities between the prominent ridges of Shinbone Ridge and Taylor Ridge. The town of Trion serves as a central hub, flanked by East Trion and the neighboring settlement of Pennville. This area is characterized by its agricultural valleys, such as Dry Valley, and its network of country roads connecting family-named landmarks and rural burying grounds. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous cemeteries scattered throughout, including Allgood Cem, Trinity Cem, and Greenhill Memory Garden. On the eastern edge, the topography rises sharply into the Chattooga National Forest, where the Narrows Lookout Tower stands near the Chattooga and Walker County line. The map also captures specialized transport features like the Gibson Field Airport and various small lakes such as Carp Lake and Selmans Lake.
