1937 Map of Haw Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Tellico Plains serves as the western gateway to this high-country landscape, where the Tellico River winds through the deep valleys of the Cherokee National Forest. This 1930s-era survey reveals a mountain economy transitioning from isolated rural settlements to managed forest lands, marked by fire towers like the Waucheesi Lookout and Hemlock Knob Lookout. While the rugged eastern terrain is defined by high peaks such as Haw Knob and Big Junction, the lower elevations near the Tennessee-North Carolina border are dotted with community hubs like New Providence Church and Glendale School. Local history is preserved in the location of remote structures like Whigg Cabin and early family-named landmarks such as McNabb Ridge and Kitchens School. The map records the intricate network of watercourses, including Bald River and Citico Creek, that shaped the travel and settlement patterns of Monroe County before the expansion of modern infrastructure.
