USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Cherokee Indian Reservation lands dominate the southern half of this 1936 survey, showing the complex intersection of federal forest and park boundaries in the North Carolina high country. The map documents the region during the early development of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where the State National Boundary cuts through the ridges. Fire prevention infrastructure is prominent, featuring a Lookout Tower on Barnett Knob and a second Lookout Tower positioned near the Jackson Haywood Co Boundary. Local community life is represented by the Peach Tree Ch near the banks of Jonathan Creek and the Peach Tree Ch Creek. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems like Raven Fk and Bunches Creek, connected by early routes such as the Bunches Trail through Bunches Gap.
