About this map

Stone Mountain and the high ridges along the Tennessee and North Carolina border anchor this 1938 field study. The landscape is defined by its series of narrow gaps and family-named hollows, where small settlements like Hemlock and rural institutions established themselves in the rugged drainage of the South Fork. High-altitude life is reflected in the placement of the Laurel Springs Sch and the Curd Sch, alongside numerous community landmarks such as Bethel Ch and Hammon Chapel. This era precedes significant modernization in the region, capturing the intricate network of local branches like Furnace Cr and Payne Branch that dictated the placement of early homes and cemeteries, including the Payne Cem and Wallace Cem. The proximity of the Cherokee National Forest highlights the intersection of protected mountain lands and private valley farming at the cusp of the 1940s.
