1943 Map of Parksville

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Lake Ocoee dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, held back by the Ocoee Power Plant Dam No 1 on the Ocoee River. The terrain is characterized by the prominent ridges of Sand Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountain, with the Tennessee Valley Divide cutting through the center. This region within the Cherokee National Forest shows a scattered network of rural settlements and institutions, including the Horns Creek Sch and various churches like Beech Springs Ch and Cumberland Shed Ch. Transportation in the western valley is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which parallels South Chestuee Creek near the settlements of Ocoee and Oldfort. The map records several family-named burial grounds such as Dills Cem and Hillard-Ladd Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research in Polk County.
