USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Western Carolina Teachers College anchors the community of Cullowhee, where the Tuckasegee River bends sharply through the mountain valley. This 1946 survey, with updates from the 1970s, captures the educational and social heart of Jackson County. To the north, the town of Sylva is situated along the Southern railroad and Scott Creek, serving as a vital transportation hub for the region. The map reveals a landscape defined by small river-bottom settlements and high-elevation ridges like Cullowhee Mountain and Black Mountain.
