At 2612 feet, Walker Mountain is one of the highest peaks in Hall County. V. M. Drake notes that it was historically and is still locally known as Walker Mountain, for the family who lived there for generations. If you’re searching online, you’ll need to use the current U. S. Geological Survey name, Wauka, which is an uncorrected transcription error.
Are there any hiking trails that takes us to the top of the mountain . . ?
Previously known as Walker Mountain, named for the Walker family that lived there. It was changed by a new map maker who didn’t do his research.
Fascinating. I will update with this information. I’ve encountered other places with wrong names and families have worked to get them corrected.
