USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The high elevation waters of Glenville Lake dominate this Jackson County landscape, reflecting the post-war industrial footprint within the Nantahala National Forest. Following the 1946 field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority, this map details the critical infrastructure of the era, including the Glenville Dam, a hydroelectric tunnel, and a power plant on the Tuckasegee River. These modern additions sit alongside traditional mountain settlements and landmarks like Erastus, Bessie, and Shookville.
