1957 Map of Persimmon Creek

About this map

Fields of the Wood stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Cherokee County, featuring a Shrine, Ten Commandments, and an Observation tower. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation waters of Hiwassee Lake and the Hiwassee River, where the terrain transitions into the protected ridges of the Nantahal National Forest. Small mountain communities such as Friendship, Postell, and Suit (PO) are connected by winding roads through gaps like Chestnut Gap and Canedy Gap. Local life in the mid-1950s is centered around institutions like the Hiwassee Dam Sch and numerous country churches, including Mt Carmel Ch and Hopewell Ch. Family-named landmarks such as Ghormley Mountain and John Ish High Top reveal the long-standing genealogical roots of the area's residents.
