1957 Map of Persimmon Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The landmark Fields of the Wood religious park, featuring the massive Ten Commandments and an Observation tower, dominates the northwestern corner of this territory just above the Hiwassee Lake shoreline. This 1957 field examination captures a transition in Cherokee County where remote mountain gaps meet the controlled waters of the Hiwassee River and Nottely River systems. The landscape is defined by the Nantahala National Forest boundary, which encompasses numerous family-named peaks like Ghormley Mountain and Shuler Mtn. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of rural landmarks, including the Friendship settlement and the Hiwassee Dam Sch. The map records a network of country churches such as Mt Carmel Ch and Shady Grove Church, along with numerous family burial grounds like the Kirkland Cem and Taylor Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community structure prior to modern highway developments.
