1957 Map of Rainbow Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Rainbow Springs serves as a small human footprint in this mid-century survey of the high mountain terrain where the Nantahala River begins its descent. The map is defined by the winding course of the Appalachian Trail as it traverses the Nantahala Mountains, crossing through several notable passes such as Winding Stair Gap, Wallace Gap, and Rock Gap. These gaps provided critical passage for travelers and early hunters through the dense Nantahala National Forest.
