1941 Map of Hewitt

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The Nantahala River carves through the heart of this landscape, flanked by the Cheoah Mountains and the Snowbird Mts. This 1941 survey documents the rugged geography of the Nantahala National Forest during a period of infrastructure expansion, most notably the Hydro-Electric Tunnel near Beechertown. Small mountain communities like Stecoah, Cody, and Nantahala are shown connected by the Southern Railway and the winding track of the Appalachian Trail. Cultural landmarks essential to local genealogy appear throughout the terrain, including Jenkins Cem, Hewitt Ch, and rural educational outposts such as Rowlin Sch and Camp Branch Sch. The presence of the Randolph Gem and Silvermine suggests the enduring mineral interests of the region, while natural features like Queens Falls and The Jump-up define the high-elevation topography.
