1935 Map of Rainbow Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Nantahala National Forest dominates this mid-1930s survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial logging and early forest management. The presence of the Lumber Company RR and the Ritter Lumber Company RR snaking through the river valleys highlights the era's intensive timber operations before the complete transition to federal conservation. At Rainbow Springs, a settlement and the Rainbow Sch serve as the local hub near the Nantahala River, while the CCC Camp No F 12 indicates the presence of Civilian Conservation Corps labor during the Great Depression.
