1897 Map of Cowee

USGS Topo · Published 1904

About this map

The Tuckasegee River and its numerous tributaries dominate this late-nineteenth-century landscape, providing a lifeline for the mountain settlements of Bryson, Webster, and Dillsboro. The industrial expansion of the era is evidenced by the route of the Southern RR, which traverses the terrain via the Cowee Tunnel near Whittier. This survey records a period when water power was central to the local economy, as seen in the locations of Wests Mill and Roanes Mill.
