1946 Map of Rabun Bald

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Rabun Bald dominates the high divide of the Blue Ridge, marking a significant topographical point in the transition between the Nantahala National Forest of North Carolina and the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia. This mid-century landscape is defined by its deep gaps and high knobs, where early mountain communities established themselves along the watercourses. Local life centers on settlements like Dillard and Mountain City, supported by the Tenn R R and the winding course of Warwoman Creek. The map records a network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Locust School and various burial grounds such as Hale Church Cem and Kelly Cem. Much of the southern portion is dedicated to the Warwoman Wildlife Management Area, reflecting the shift toward conservation and public forest management in the southern Appalachians during this era.
