1933 Map of Rafter

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

Cherokee National Forest dominates this topographic study, revealing a complex network of ridges and mountain hollows in Monroe County. The landscape is defined by its many educational and spiritual centers, such as Glenndale Sch, Antioch Sch, and New Providence Ch, which served small rural communities like Tariffville and Acorn. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Ballplay Creek and the Tellico River cutting through the terrain between heights like Lynn Carden Mtn and Canebrake Mtn. This map captures a moment when local life was centered around these isolated institutions and family-named landmarks like the Sloan Bridge or Stratton Guide trail. The presence of numerous named branches and runs, including Gowmire Run and Hampton Branch, underscores the importance of water access for the small settlements found at Rafter and Belltown.
