1940 Map of Greens Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Tuckasegee River corridor near Dillsboro serves as the focal point for this survey, where the Southern railroad line follows the riverbank past Locust Field Ch. This landscape is defined by the convergence of mountain ridges and narrow valleys where small settlements like Greens Creek and Gay took root. The map illustrates a complex network of creeks, including Savannah Creek and Beasley Creek, which carved the paths for early mountain roads. High peaks such as Cowee Bald and Raven Mtn dominate the western portion, which was largely protected as part of the Nantahala National Forest and Nantahala Game Lands. For local historians, the inclusion of remote sites like Liberty Ch and New Savannah Ch provides a look at the spiritual and social hubs of these mountain coves during the mid-20th century.
