1940 Map of Sams Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Sams Gap serves as the central crossing point for the Appalachian Trail along the high boundary between North Carolina and Tennessee in 1940. This survey, conducted just before the peak of mid-century infrastructure changes, documents a landscape defined by isolated mountain communities such as Little Creek and Faust. The area is densely patterned with family-named landmarks and local institutions, including the Rice Creek Sch and the Rice Bend Ch, reflecting a deeply rooted rural society.
