1947 Map of Corbin Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Franklin and the winding Cullasaja River dominate this 1946 field examination, revealing a landscape where mountain ridges dictate the placement of rural institutions. In the valley floors, the presence of the Nikwasi Indian Mound and the Franklin Airport contrast ancient history with mid-century aviation. Educational and spiritual life is densely mapped through a network of small schoolhouses and churches, such as Oak Ridge Sch, Mashburn Branch Sch, and Bethlehem Ch. The Nantahala National Forest covers much of the high ground, punctuated by numerous family-named peaks like Bryson Knob and Guy Knob. Near Higdonville, the terrain reveals the transition from valley agriculture to the steep slopes of the Cowee Mountains, where landmarks like Corundum Hill speak to the region's geological and mining heritage. The map also captures infrastructure including Lake Emory and a Gaging Station on the river.
