1946 Map of Corbin Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Little Tennessee River and Cullasaja River converge near Franklin, forming a valley landscape defined by the Nantahala National Forest and the Cowee Mountains. This 1946 field-checked survey, updated in 1978, illustrates a mid-century mountain economy centered on small community hubs like East Franklin and Higdonville. The terrain is dotted with numerous localized institutions, including Holly Springs School and Ridge Crest Church, alongside industrial markers such as Berry Mill and the Porters Bend Dam creating Lake Emory. The presence of the gaging station and various benchmarks suggests the active hydrological management of the river system during this era. Unique local landmarks like Corundum Hill and Angel Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family origins in this part of Macon County.
