1940 Map of Tapoco

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Little Tennessee River waters dominate this landscape on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee, controlled by major infrastructure including Calderwood Dam and Cheoah Dam. The 1940 field examination reveals a region defined by hydroelectric development and protected wilderness, with the Appalachian Trail winding through the Yellow Creek Mountains. Settlement is concentrated near the river at Tapoco and Deals Gap, while the surrounding terrain is marked by significant forest tracts like the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
