1957 Map of Rainbow Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Nantahala River carves through the mountains of Macon and Clay counties, creating a landscape defined by steep ridges and deep gaps. This 1957 survey, with updates from 1978, illustrates a transition in land use within the Nantahala National Forest and Nantahala Game Lands. The settlement of Rainbow Springs sits at the heart of this river valley, while small, scattered outposts like Ledford and Barrett indicate the persistence of isolated mountain homesteads.
