1957 Map of Mc Farland

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Springtown (Servilla) and the riverside settlement of McFarland serve as the primary human anchors in this mid-century portrait of the Hiwassee River valley. The landscape is defined by the industrial infrastructure of the era, most notably the Louisville and Nashville Railroad which follows the river's winding course through The Narrows. Technical achievements like the Apalachia Tunnel and the Apalachia Powerhouse reflect the influence of the Tennessee Valley Authority on the region's development and topography. In the surrounding hills of the Cherokee National Forest, numerous family cemeteries such as Morgan Cem, Burchfield Cem, and Campground Cem remain, alongside landmarks like Maggies Mill on Spring Creek. The map details the complex river morphology, including Cane Island and Big Island, while highlighting the transition from deep forest ridges to the small communities of Polk and Monroe counties.
