- INDIAN BOUNDARY
The boundary between the State
of Georgia and the Chereokee Nation established by the Treaty
of Augusta, May 31, 1783, ran along here. The line ran "from
the top of Curahee mountain to the head, or source, of the most
southern branch of the Oconee river, including all waters of
the same."
The boundary line was re-affirmed
by the Treaty of Hopewell, Nov. 28, 1785. It was originally marked
by a line of felled trees at least twenty feet wide, which became
a sort of No Man's Land.
