About this map

Nantahala National Forest dominates this topographic survey of Jackson County, showcasing a complex network of ridges and watercourses immediately following World War II. The landscape is defined by the Tuckasegee River and its west fork, which carve through dramatic terrain features like Bonas Defeat and The Dismal. Small mountain communities and family settlements are marked by landmarks such as the Big Ridge Ch and the Rock Bridge Sch, reflecting the rural character of the Blue Ridge highlands during this era.
