1946 Map of Sylva South

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Western Carolina Teachers College sits at the center of this mountain landscape, marking a period of educational expansion along the winding course of the Tuckasegee River. The 1946 topography reveals a region defined by river-valley agriculture and high-altitude ridges, with the Southern RR following the water through Dillsboro and Sylva. Away from the rail lines, the map identifies small community clusters and family burial grounds like Parris Cem and Stillwell Cem, which provide essential clues for genealogical research in Jackson County.
