2017 Map of Wilscot

About this map

Morganton and the upper reaches of Blue Ridge Lake define the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the waters of Star Cr feed into the reservoir. Moving southeast, the terrain transitions into the dense woodlands of the Chattahoochee National Forest, a region defined by high peaks like Picklesimer Mtn and Tipton Mtn. The Toccoa River snakes through the southern portion of the map, passing the small settlements of Dial and Margret. Family history is deeply etched into this geography through numerous burial sites, including the Van Zandt Cem, Brawley Cem, and Griffith Cem. The transportation network relies on winding mountain passes like Wilscot Gap and Skeenhah Gap, which connect the dispersed communities of Hurst and Swan across the Fannin and Union county line.
