The boundary between the State of Georgia and the Cherokee Nation established by the Treaty of Augusta on May 31, 1783, ran along here. The line ran from the top of Currahee mountain to the head, or source, of the most southern branch of the Oconee river, including all waters of the same. This boundary line was reaffirmed by the Treaty of Hopewell on 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.
