1897 Map of Cowee

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The Tuckasegee River carves through the heart of the southern Blue Ridge on this late-nineteenth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation and early mountain commerce. High-altitude balds like Wesner Bald and Steestachee Bald tower over the Plott Balsams and Yalaka Mountains, while the valley floors are dotted with small river settlements and railroad stops. The Cowee Tunnel and Hall Sta. indicate the push for infrastructure through the gaps, connecting towns such as Webster and Dillsboro.
