1936 Map of Mc Farland

About this map

The Hiwassee River winds through the heart of the Cherokee National Forest in this 1936 survey, tracing a deep mountain valley marked by tight river bends and sharp elevation changes. The Louisville and Nashville railroad follows the southern bank of the river, connecting small riverside settlements such as Reliance, Hiwassee, and McFarland. These communities, along with northern hamlets like Springton and Servilla, reveal a landscape where transportation and industry were dictated by the rugged contours of Towee Mountain and the Unicoi Mountains. Cultural landmarks such as Maggies Mill and Towee Ch indicate a established rural life before the mid-century expansion of regional infrastructure. The presence of Graveyard Ridge and various gaps like Kirkland Gap suggest traditional travel routes through the high ridges of the Tennessee backcountry during the Depression era.
