1942 Map of Tallassee

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Little Tennessee River winds through the heart of this 1941 field examination, carving a path between Chilhowee Mountain and the Cherokee National Forest. The landscape is defined by its pre-dam riverine economy, where transit depended on river crossings such as Jones Ferry, Tallassee Ferry, and Scona Lodge Ferry. Small agrarian communities like Tallassee and Wellsville are documented alongside numerous family and community landmarks, including Quaker Cem, Williamson Chapel, and Lanier Sch. To the south, Citico Creek feeds into the main river near Citico Beach, while the eastern edge of the map touches the boundary of Great Smoky Mts Nat Park. The mapping captures the distinct topography of gaps and leads, such as Stony Grave Gap and Cockspur Lead, before modern hydroelectric projects significantly altered the flow and shoreline of the Little Tennessee.
