1941 Map of Hiawassee

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Hiawassee and Young Harris sit at the northern edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest during this 1941 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by mountain ridges and the rising waters of the Tennessee Valley Authority system. Blue shading indicates areas slated for submergence by Hiwassee Lake (Chatuge Lake), which fundamentally altered the geography of the Brasstown Creek valley and surrounding coves. The map documents the rural infrastructure of Towns County before these changes, from the Townsend Mill near Jacksonville to family-centric landmarks like Burch Bridge.
