1947 Map of Rabun Bald

About this map

Rabun Bald towers over this section of the Blue Ridge, marking the high-elevation divide between the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina and the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia. The landscape in the late 1940s is defined by a dense network of gaps and knobs, where settlements like Dillard and Mountain City are connected by the Tenn R R and early state routes. The map records the headwaters of the Warwoman Creek, where the Warwoman Dell recreational area sits near the small community of Antioch.
