1946 Map of Sylva South

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Tuckasegee River winds through the heart of Jackson County, anchoring a valley where the town of Sylva and the historic community of Webster define the local geography. This survey, updated in the late 20th century from mid-century foundations, illustrates the expansion of Western Carolina University at Cullowhee, showing the campus and its proximity to the Jackson County Airport. The landscape is dominated by the steep rises of the Great Balsam Mountains and Nantahala National Forest, with family-named landmarks such as Parris Cem and Stillwell Cem providing essential data for genealogical research.
