1933 Map of Bald River Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

The Telligo River cuts a winding path through this corner of the Unicoi Mountains, where the 1930s landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and scattered rural schoolhouses. The Bald River Falls stands as a focal point along the water, while the Waucheesi Lookout Tower atop Waucheesi Mtn provides a clear perspective of the surrounding Cherokee National Forest. This era of Monroe County history is reflected in small, localized features like Blackankle Sch and Smithfield Sch, which anchored the upland communities before modern consolidation. The map records a complex network of named ridges and hollows, such as Miller Ridge and Gravelstand Top, which dictated the early trails and paths of the region. Evidence of early resource extraction is preserved through labels like Miller Mine Branch, tracing the intersection of industry and the natural drainage system of the mountains.
