About this map

Murphy Indian Res Henson Donation occupies the eastern portion of this 1930s landscape, where the Hiwassee River and Nottely River converge near the town of Murphy. This era of the Tennessee Valley's history is captured shortly after the construction of Nottely Dam, showing the early hydrological management of these mountain waterways. The rugged topography of the Unicoi Mountains and Nantahala National Forest is dotted with rural landmarks of the period, such as Dockery Store and Radford Mill. Genealogists will find a detailed network of family-centered infrastructure, including Old Friendship Cem and numerous country schools like Grape Creek Sch and Ebenezer Sch. The industrial presence of the region is noted by the L & N RR corridor and a Talc Mine, illustrating the intersection of natural resources and railroad transport in western North Carolina.
