1946 Map of Corbin Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Little Tennessee River and Cullasaja River define the local topography of this 1946 survey, converging just south of Franklin. The landscape is a network of mid-century rural infrastructure, featuring the Porters Bend Dam creating Lake Emory and the ancient presence of the Nikwasi Indian Mound. Numerous small schools and churches, such as Oak Ridge Sch, Salem Sch, and Bethlehem Ch, serve the dispersed mountain communities of Ellijay and Sugar Fork. Local industry and geology are noted through features like Berry Mill and Corundum Hill near the southern bend of the Cullasaja River. Much of the eastern and central portion of the map is protected land within the Nantahala National Forest, where high peaks like Corbin Knob and Onion Mtn separate the Savannah and Mill Shoal watersheds.
