USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Lake Emory and the Little Tennessee River dominate the eastern landscape of this 1946 study, where the town of Franklin serves as a hub for the surrounding mountain coves. The terrain is defined by the steep rises of Trimont Ridge and the Nantahala National Forest, which separate isolated valley settlements like Burningtown and Iotla. Local life in the post-war era is mapped through numerous small community centers, including Slagle Memorial Church, Louisa Chapel, and the Franklin School.
