1957 Map of Mc Farland

About this map

The Hiwassee River carves a dramatic path through the mountains of Polk and Monroe Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the industry of the Apalachia Powerhouse. This mid-century Tennessee Valley Authority survey shows the river winding past significant islands such as Big Island and Cane Island near the sharp bend of The Narrows. Small mountain communities like Reliance, Springtown, and Servilla are documented alongside their local institutions, including Corinth Ch and Maggies Mill.
