1939 Map of Telford

About this map

Washington College serves as a historic anchor in this landscape, situated just south of the Southern railroad line. The settlement patterns of the late 1930s are clearly visible, with small communities like Telford and Broylesville linked by the Andrew Johnson Highway. Along the winding Nolichucky River, river crossings such as Snapp Bridge and Bailey Bridge facilitate movement between the agricultural lowlands and the rising slopes of the Cherokee National Forest.
