1935 Map of Doe Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Mountain City serves as the primary hub in this mountainous corner of Tennessee, situated where Roan Creek and several mountain ridges converge. This 1935 field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority captures the region before the creation of Watauga Lake, showing the original location of Butler and the Watauga Academy along the riverbanks. The map illustrates a landscape of dispersed agricultural communities like Elk Mills and Neva, each anchored by local institutions such as Shouns Chapel Sch and Mount Gilead Ch. The terrain is dominated by the massive Iron Mountains and Doe Mountain, with the Cherokee National Forest boundary carving through the high ridges. This survey provides a critical record of the valley floor's road network, including State Highway 67, and early post offices like Vaughtsville P O that served remote mountain coves.
