2017 Map of Trion

About this map

The Chattooga River winds southward through a valley bounded by Shinbone Ridge and Taylor Ridge in this Chattooga County survey. The town of Trion serves as the central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as East Trion, Pennville, and Welcome Hill. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and forested ridges, including a portion of the Chattooga National Forest along the eastern edge. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous family and community burial grounds, including Paynes Chapel Cem, Algood Cem, and Chattooga Cem. The presence of Carp Lake, Sucker Lake, and Lake Wanda Reita suggests a water-rich environment supporting local recreation and small-scale land use between the prominent mountain ridges. Near the Walker Co line, the small settlement of Hawkins and landmarks like Center Post help define the rural character of this Georgia landscape.
