1946 Map of Scaly

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Nantahala National Forest land dominates this 1940s landscape, where small mountain communities like Fulchertown, Tumblerville, and Scaly are scattered among a complex network of ridges and gaps. The map records a way of life centered on small-scale agriculture and industry, evident in landmarks such as Watkins Mill and the Gold Mine near Gold Mine Branch. Local spiritual and civic life is anchored by Drymans Chapel, Tessentee Ch, and the Scaly Sch. Numerous family cemeteries, including Stiles Cem and Mt Moriah Cem, provide critical data for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of the Cullasaja River and Tessentee Creek dictate the settlement locations, with homes following the narrow valleys between peaks like The Pinnacle and High Holly. A lookout tower on Little Scaly stands as a sentinel over the Blue Valley region.
