2020 Map of Tunnel Hill

About this map

Tunnel Hill sits at the heart of this topographic study, where the namesake Tunnel Hill Ridge and the historic Chetoogeta Mountain Tunnel define the passage through the northwest Georgia mountains. The landscape transitions from the industrial outskirts of Dalton in the southeast to the rural valleys of Catoosa Co and Whitfield Co. Traditional milling sites like Callaway Mill and Hassler Mill are situated along the valley floors, near the winding paths of East Chickamauga Creek and Mill Cr. The area is densely dotted with family and community burial grounds, including Dedmon Cem, Dogwood Cem, and Stony Point Cem, which provide significant points of reference for genealogical research. Higher elevations such as Rocky Face Mtn and Blue Mtn overlook a mix of agricultural land and the protected boundaries of the Chattahoochee National Forest, illustrating the enduring balance between human settlement and the natural Appalachian terrain.
