1940 Map of Alarka

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Little Tennessee River winds through the heart of this 1940 survey, carving a path through the Cowee Mountains and defining the boundary between Swain and Macon counties. The landscape is characterized by isolated valley settlements and a network of mountain gaps, such as Sally Gap and Low Gap, which served as vital passage points between ridges. Significant local infrastructure is noted by landmarks like Lost Bridge and Mc Coy Bridge, which provided essential crossings before modern road realignments.
