1957 Map of Bald River Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Tellico River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of the Cherokee National Forest along the Tennessee and North Carolina border. This 1957 survey, updated in the late 1970s, shows a landscape defined by sharp peaks and named gaps, including the high-altitude Waucheesi Mtn and its Waucheesi Lookout tower. The presence of Miller Chapel and Mt Isabel Ch near the northern boundary suggests small community centers tucked into the valleys of Miller Ridge and the mountain slopes. The confluence of the Bald River at Bald River Falls serves as a central landmark within the Cherokee Wildlife Management Area. Numerous family-named ridges and branches, such as Brushy Ridge and McNabb Cr, offer a detailed look at the rural topography before modern development altered these remote southern Appalachian highlands.
