1957 Map of Persimmon Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Fields of the Wood dominates the northwestern corner of this Cherokee County landscape, featuring a large-scale installation of the Ten Commandments and an observation tower. This 1957 record, updated with 1970s aerial photography, documents a rugged interior within the Nantahala National Forest where the Hiwassee River and Hiwassee Lake create a sprawling aquatic network north of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The settlement patterns are scattered and tied to gap passages and creek valleys, including the small community at Friendship (Suit PO) and Hothouse.
