1935 Map of Hightower Bald

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Nantahala National Forest defines this high-elevation boundary region between Georgia and North Carolina as it was surveyed in the mid-1930s. The landscape is dominated by the Blue Ridge and its intricate network of gaps and knobs, including Hightower Bald and Little Bald Knob. This era shows the Appalachian Trail following the winding ridgeline that separates Towns and Rabun counties. Near the small settlement of Hightower, the Pleasant Hill School stands as a focal point for the rural mountain community, situated where Big Creek and John Creek meet. This survey, a collaboration including the Tennessee Valley Authority, captures the primitive road network of State No 2 and U S Highway No 76 before modern developments altered these mountain passes.
