1940 Map of Greens Creek

About this map

The Tuckasegee River flows through the northeastern corner of this territory, where the settlement of Dillsboro and Locust Field Ch sit near the water. This 1940 survey, updated with 1975 data, highlights a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes across the Nantahala Game Lands and the convergence of Swain, Jackson, and Macon counties. High peaks like Cowee Bald are marked by a Lookout Tower, overseeing a network of branch creeks including Barkers Creek and Savannah Creek.
