Nantahala National Forest land defines the upper corner of this 1935 advance sheet, compiled through a collaboration between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Tennessee Valley Authority. This specific map represents a transitional period in regional mapping, utilizing aerial photography and field examinations to document the high-elevation landscape of Jackson County. The primary transportation route visible is St Hy No 106, which cuts through the federally protected forest land near the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountain. While the sheet is largely focused on the terrain and forest boundaries, it provides a precise look at the early development of state infrastructure and land management in the North Carolina mountains during the mid-1930s.
