1940 Map of Boyds Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

French Broad River winds through this landscape at the boundary of Knox and Sevier counties, carving distinctive features like Horseshoe Bend and Underwood Bend. The 1940 survey documents a transition in river transport, noting both the active Huffaker Ferry and the Brabson Ferry (Abandoned). Near the settlement of Boyds Creek, the John Sevier Monument stands as a landmark of regional history. The rural community is densely marked with small family cemeteries such as Pollard Cem and Trundle Cem, and numerous local schools including Knight Sch, Payne Sch, and the Harrison Chilhowee Academy near the southern map edge. To the south, the terrain rises into the Slate Knobs and Whittle Mountain, while Peters Mill on Boyds Creek reflects the local water-powered industry of the era.
