1967 Map of Clyde

About this map

The Pigeon River flows through the heart of this North Carolina mountain landscape, serving as the corridor for the Southern railroad and connecting the communities of Clyde and Lake Junaluska. The 1970s updates to this survey highlight the area's development, including the expansion of Tuscola High Sch and the winding residential layouts around the lake. The map is dense with family-named mountain features and local institutions, from the Crabtree-Iron Duff High Sch to numerous rural cemeteries like Bon-A-Venture Cem. The geography transitions from the managed boundaries of the Pisgah National Forest to active valley life, where recreation and community life are marked by the Skyland Camp (Girls) and a local golf course. Small settlements like Crabtree and Ferguson are anchored by landmarks such as Mt Zion Church and Fincher Chapel, reflecting the deep-rooted social fabric of Haywood County.
