BRASSTOWN BALD

formerly Mount Enotah, highest peak (4,784 feet ) in Georgia, U.S. It lies 8 miles (13 km) east of Blairsville in the Blue Ridge Mountains, just south of the North Carolina border. Heavily wooded, the mountain is within Chattahoochee National Forest, and its bare summit is topped by a 40-foot lookout tower. The name Brasstown probably derives from a misinterpretation of the Cherokee Indian name Itse'yi, meaning green place, which was confused with the name Untsai'yi, meaning brass.
