1940 Map of Robbinsville

About this map

Robbinsville serves as the central hub of Graham County in this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of several mountain valleys. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Cheoah Mountains and Snowbird Mountains, which fall within the Nantahala National Forest. A notable concentration of community landmarks appears south of the town center, including the Snowbird Cherokee Indian School and Zion Hill Ch. To the northwest, the recently formed Santeetlah Lake has fundamentally altered the terrain, creating a complex shoreline that borders the CCC Camp NCF24. Genealogists will find numerous family-named burial grounds like Massey Cem and Holloway Cem, alongside rural social centers such as the Mountain Creek School and Cheoah Ch. Significant elevations are marked by the Teyahalee Bald Tathama Lookout Tower, providing a clear view of the complex hydrology of the Cheoah River watershed.
