1934 Map of McDaniel Bald

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

McDaniel Bald towers over the border of Cherokee County, North Carolina and Monroe County, Tennessee, anchoring a landscape defined by its high gaps and winding creek branches during the mid-1930s. The Tennessee Valley Authority and U.S. Geological Survey collaborated on this study, documenting small mountain communities like Grandview and Ebenezer. Life in the high country centers around scattered institutions, including Mt Nebo School and several country churches such as White Church and Boiling Springs Church. The topography is intricate, with many family-named peaks and gaps like Peter Dick Gap, Harshaw Gap, and Tipton Knob marking the divisions between the Nantahala and Cherokee National Forests. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the paths of Hanging Dog Creek, Grape Creek, and Beaverdam Creek through the wooded terrain.
