1939 Map of Greystone

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Bald Mountains rise along the Tennessee North Carolina border in this 1939 survey, defining a landscape where small mountain communities like Greystone and Bethany are linked by winding roads and gaps. Local life in the late 1930s is anchored by rural institutions such as Dobson Sch and Mountain View Ch, while more remote homesteads and cabins like Doak Cabin and Fox Cabin appear deep within the Cherokee National Forest. The map traces the early route of the Appalachian Trail as it follows the high ridges past Little Bald Mtn and Jones Meadow. Notable water sources like Waddell Spring and Hampton Spring emphasize the importance of natural hydrology for these upland settlements before modern infrastructure reached the more isolated hollows of the Pisgah National Forest.
