About this map

Marble and the surrounding Valley River corridor define this 1935 industrial and mountain landscape. The Southern Railway and State Highway No 10 parallel the river, connecting a series of extraction-based settlements including Maltby and Coalville. The map documents a diverse extractive economy through multiple quarries, a Talc Mine, and an Iron Mine near Fairview Ch.

Beyond the industrial valley, the terrain rises into the Nantahala National Forest and Snowbird Mountains. Local landmarks like Sales Ford on the river and isolated schools such as Slow Creek Sch provide significant detail for genealogists. The presence of the US Transmission Line and Hayesville No 1 infrastructure points to the early electrification and development efforts by the Tennessee Valley Authority during the mid-1930s.
