How to Use This Cherry Log, Georgia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cherry Log, Georgia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Georgia or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cherry Log.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Cherry Log, Georgia

Cherry Log is a locality in Gilmer County, Georgia, United States. It is a small community with a population of 99. The population density is 33.7 people per km². Cherry Log is located at 34.7851°N, 84.3810°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 30522.

Cherry Log emerges from the deep, verdant folds of the landscape where the clear, steady current of Rock Creek carves its path through the earth. It lies 32.9 miles east of Dalton, GA (from Dalton, GA: bearing 89°T), and is situated 28.7 miles northwest of Dahlonega. The air here holds a cool, damp weight, carrying the scent of damp soil and ancient timber from the nearby Chattahoochee National Forest, which stands as a dark, silent sentinel against the horizon. To the west, the rugged topography of the Rich Mountain Wildlife Management Area defines the skyline, its ridges rising in jagged silhouettes that soften only when the twilight light turns the atmosphere to a bruised, violet haze. Less than a mile away, the still, reflective surface of Goose Island Lake captures the shifting clouds, providing a quiet mirror for the dense canopy that blankets the surrounding slopes.

Cherry Log retains a character forged in the silence of the woods and the slow, deliberate pace of life that persists in the shelter of the Appalachian Mountains. Though the distant, formidable peaks of the Appalachian Mountains remain visible only as a faint, blue-gray ribbon in the far haze, their influence is felt in the way the land dips into the quiet seclusion of Horse Cove. The local economy has shifted over generations from the rugged labor of timber and mountain agriculture to a quiet stewardship of the land, where the passage of time is marked by the seasonal turning of leaves rather than the frantic pulse of industry. Travelers seeking a reprieve from the modern world often look toward the challenging inclines of the Tearbritches Trail, finding in the effort of the climb a connection to the enduring, unadorned spirit of this place.

About This Cherry Log Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cherry Log, Georgia. Coordinates: 34.78509, -84.381047. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Cherry Log includes the ZIP code (30522), telephone area code (770, 678), county seat of Gilmer County (Ellijay), and school district assignment (Gilmer County School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
