1942 Map of Horse Shoe

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The French Broad River winds through the heart of this 1942 survey, creating the dramatic Horse Shoe Bend that defines the local geography. This river valley was a primary corridor for transportation and industry during the early 1940s, anchored by the Southern Railway and the village of Horse Shoe. Settlement patterns follow the fertile bottoms and rail line, with family and community life centered around landmarks like Oak Forest Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch. In the northeast corner, a State Prison Camp near Rugby Pond stands as a distinct institutional marker of the era.
