About this map

Pine Log Mountain State Wildlife Management Area dominates the central landscape of this late-1990s survey, illustrating the conservation of the high ridges in Bartow and Cherokee counties. Small communities like Bolivar, Rydal, and White follow the lower elevations and transportation corridors, including the CSX Transportation rail line. The human geography is notably defined by several rural churches, such as New Hope Ch and Millers Chapel, which alongside the Hickory Log Vocational Sch, anchor the local social history of the region.

The terrain transitions from the heights of Pine Log Mountain and Bear Mtn down into the narrow valleys carved by Stamp Creek and Little Log Creek. This map captures a moment of modern land management where 4WD trails provide access to the interior of the wildlife area, while existing infrastructure like the Pine Log Lookout Tower and various radio towers occupy the highest summits, including Sharp Top Mtn.
