1941 Map of Ivylog

About this map

Nottely Lake dominates this 1941 landscape, with its branching waters filling the valleys of the Nottely River and its numerous tributaries like Youngcane Creek and Ivylog Creek. The completion of the Nottely Dam significantly altered the local geography, as evidenced by the indicated reservation boundaries and the submerged areas surrounding Horseshoe Bend and Hyatt Bend. While many rural industries remained active, such as Seabolt Mill and Tate Mill, the rising waters necessitated the relocation of infrastructure, shown here with crossings like Smith Bridge and McBee Bridge. The map records a transition from traditional mountain farming to a regulated reservoir system. Scattered settlements like Ivylog and Bethlehem serve as anchors for the community, supported by local institutions including Bethany Ch and Providence Sch. To the north, the terrain rises toward Moccasin Mountain and the border with North Carolina.
