1940 Map of Alarka

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Nantahala National Forest dominates this 1940 field examination, where the high ridges of the Cowee Mountains and Nantahala Mountains converge at the Swain and Macon County line. The Little Tennessee River snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle, punctuated by Dean Island and structural crossings like Lost Bridge and McCoy Bridge. Small communities and family homesteads are concentrated in the creek bottoms, particularly along Alarka Creek and Cowee Creek.
