1936 Map of Proctor

To the south, the Southern National Highway winds along the river, passing through small river settlements like Marcus, Dorsey, and Hubbard. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain before major hydroelectric changes, capturing family-named landmarks and local institutions such as the Tennessee River Ch and Fairview Sch. Steep ridgelines like Forney Ridge and Welch Ridge enclose these narrow valleys, where cemeteries like Sawyer Creek Cem and Edwards Cem remain as markers of early 20th-century life in Swain and Graham counties.
