1946 Map of Cliffield Mtn

About this map

Green River carves a deep path through the Blue Ridge Mountains on this 1946 Tennessee Valley Authority survey. The landscape is defined by its sharp verticality, featuring notable gaps and peaks like Cooper Gap, Cliffield Mtn, and the distinctive Narrows where the river tightens. Early 20th-century life in Henderson and Polk counties is visible in the distribution of family landmarks and small community centers. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including Jones Cem and Ratty Cem, as well as local hubs like Dana Sch and Macedonia Ch. This era of the Carolina high country shows a network of winding mountain roads like Howard Gap Road and Blue Ridge Rd, linking remote settlements such as Edith Grove and Mount Valley before modern development altered the rural character.
