2017 Map of Tunnel Hill

About this map

The Chetogeta Mountain Tunnel pierces through Tunnel Hill Ridge, a defining landmark of this North Georgia corridor where transportation and local industry have long intersected. The town of Tunnel Hill sits at the northern end of this passage, while the southern reaches of the map include the edges of Dalton and the Dalton State Coll campus. The geography is characterized by parallel ridges and valleys, including Taylor Ridge and Dogwood Valley, which dictated the placement of early settlements like Trickum and Mount Vernon. Numerous family-named sites offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Foster Cem, Dedmon Cem, and Stony Point Cem. Water-powered industrial history is represented by labels for Callaway Mill and Hassler Mill, situated along the creek systems that drain the Chattahoochee National Forest.
