1942 Map of Parksville

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Lake Ocoee, also known as Parksville Lake, dominates the northeastern corner of this 1942 survey, showing the industrial influence of the Ocoee Power Plant Dam No 1 on the Ocoee River. The landscape is a mix of protected wilderness and established rural communities, with the Blue Ridge Mountains and Chilhowee Mountain framing the eastern edge within the Cherokee National Forest. The Louisville and Nashville railroad runs north-south through the western valley, serving settlements like Oldfort and Conasauga. Local life in the early 1940s is anchored by several rural landmarks, including the Horns Creek School, Antioch Church, and Cumberland Shed Church. The map also captures several family-named burial sites such as Muller Cem, Dills Cem, and Hillard-Ladd Cem, providing valuable detail for genealogical research in this part of Polk County.
