1957 Map of Shooting Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Tusquitee and the rural community of Shooting Creek anchor this mid-century view of Clay County, where the valley floor meets the steep reaches of Chunky Gal Mountain. The landscape is defined by the southern shoreline of Chatuge Lake, reflecting the influence of the Tennessee Valley Authority on the region's geography. A dense network of local landmarks provides a clear record of communal life, from the Shooting Creek School to numerous small houses of worship like Marshall Chapel and Union Chapel. Within the Nantahala National Forest, the topography is etched with family-named coves and gaps, including Joel Cove and Perry Gap. This map preserves the distribution of homesteads and burial sites, such as the Galloway Hill Cem, before modern development altered the remote character of these Appalachian foothills.
