1946 Map of Prentiss

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Nantahala National Forest dominates the high peaks and ridges of this 1946 survey, where the Appalachian Trail snakes along the crests of Albert Mtn and Pinnacle Mtn. In the valleys below, the Little Tennessee River and Cullasaja River provide the lifeblood for agricultural settlements like Prentiss and Otto. The eastern corridor is defined by the route of the Tallulah Falls Railroad, which parallels the river and connects local industry, including Addington Mill and McClure Mill. Community life is anchored by family-named landmarks and rural institutions such as Maidens Chapel, Newman Chapel, and the Allison-Watts Sch. The inclusion of the Coweeta Experiment Station highlights the region's importance for forest hydrology and environmental research during the mid-twentieth century.
