1957 Map of Rainbow Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Nantahala River carves through this pocket of the Blue Ridge, anchored by the small settlement of Rainbow Springs. In the late 1950s, this landscape was defined by the intersection of the Appalachian Trail and the high ridges of Chunky Gal Mountain and the Nantahala Mountains. This area serves as a significant crossroads for topographical survey and wildlife conservation, containing the Standing Indian Wildlife Management Area and the Nantahala National Forest.
