1946 Map of Dillard

About this map

Dillard and Mountain City serve as the primary hubs in this mountainous corridor near the North Carolina border, where the Tallulah Falls RR follows the narrow valley of the Little Tennessee River. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Chattahoochee National Forest and Nantahala National Forest, showing a network of rural life tied to the terrain. Higher elevations reveal old industry and agriculture, such as the Queen Mine near Queen Mine Gap and historic milling operations like Kilby Mill and Dickerson Mill. Local community centers are anchored by landmarks like the Rabun Gap Nacoochee Sch and numerous country churches, including Taylor Chapel and Wesley Chapel Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the era's land use, from the recreational grounds of Camp Dixie to the conserved slopes of Blackrock Mountain State Park.
