2011 Map of Villanow

About this map

Villanow and Reo anchor this corridor of Northwest Georgia, where the terrain transitions into a complex series of ridges and coves. The landscape is defined by its deep gaps and family-named landmarks, such as Snake Creek Gap and Gentry Gap, which historically dictated movement through the mountains. To the east, the heights of Dug Mountain and Hurricane Mountain flank the fertile Hurricane Valley, while the southern reaches descend into Furnace Valley and Redwine Cove. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of burial grounds, including the Macedonia Cemetery, Strain Family Cemetery, and White Cemetery. This network of cemeteries and small valley settlements reflects a long-standing rural community structure centered around water sources like Mill Creek and East Armuchee Creek.
