Nature
Davenport Mountain is a summit in Georgia with an elevation of 2,077 feet, giving it a defined place in the state's upland landscape and on local maps. Though not a major peak, it reflects a common pattern in the region's early history: prominent natural features taking the names of local settlers. The mountain was named for John Davenport, a pioneer citizen of the 1830s, linking it to the era of early white settlement in this part of Georgia and to the way those settlers' names became embedded in local geography.
