1935 Map of Andrews

About this map

Andrews serves as the central hub of this 1935 survey, situated in the heart of the Valley River corridor. The town's grid is bisected by the Southern Railway, which follows the river's path through the Nantahala National Forest. Evidence of local industry and development is clear, with a Lumber Railroad extending into the timbered slopes and a Valley River Tunnel facilitating rail transit through the ridges. To the east, the small settlement of Rhodo sits near its namesake Rhodo Sch, while local social life is marked by the Andrews Golf Course and several rural congregations such as Beaver Creek Ch. The surrounding landscape is defined by formidable peaks like Big Peachtree Bald and the Tusquitee Mountains, with numerous family-named landmarks like Granny Squirrel Gap and Nancy Gap indicating long-established mountain passages.
