1892 Map of Walhalla

About this map

Walhalla and Toccoa anchor this late 19th-century study of the borderlands where South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina meet. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of the Blue Ridge, where water features like Tallulah Falls and Toccoa Falls mark the transition from the mountains to the piedmont. This era shows a burgeoning transportation network, with the Blue Ridge Railroad and the Elberton Air Line Railroad threading through the gaps and valleys.
