1940 Map of Alarka

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Little Tennessee River carves a winding path through the heart of the Cowee Mountains, where the 1940 landscape remains defined by small riverside settlements and isolated mountain hollows. Community life centers on crossroads like Etna (PO) and Wests Mill (PO), which served as local post offices and social hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The mapping reveals a traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where churches like Mt Vernon Ch and schools such as White Oak Sch are tucked away in the gaps and coves, often near family burial grounds including Brendle Cem and Davis Cem.
