Mountaintown Creek and the Coosawattee River dominate this northern Georgia landscape, where winding waterways dictate the placement of rural settlements and family cemeteries. At New Hope, the local New Hope Cemetery sits just off Craigtown Rd, while to the west, the settlement of Tails Creek is surrounded by namesake features like Tails Creek Cemetery and the tributary waters of Fir Creek. The infrastructure of Gilmer County is visible in the transition between older landmarks like Ella Gap and modern additions such as the Gilmer County Airport and the Chitwood Lake Dam. Small communities like Roosevelt, Elders, and Webb are connected by a dense network of local roads, reflecting the shift from early settlement patterns to contemporary residential development near the shores of Carters Lake.
