1941 Map of Tallassee

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Chilhowee Lake dominates the center of this 1941 landscape, reflecting a time of significant transition for the Little Tennessee River valley along the Blount and Monroe county line. The map records the early footprints of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s impact, noting areas submerged by the lake's rising waters. Historic river crossings like Tallassee Ferry and Jones Ferry appear alongside riverside settlements such as Lower Chilhowee and Tallassee. To the north, the foothills of Chilhowee Mountain shelter small rural communities like Wellsville and Pumpkin Center. The presence of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Cherokee National Forest marks the preservation of the surrounding wilderness. Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and institutions, including the Quaker Cem Happy Top Ch, Kagley Chapel, and Lanier Sch.
