1946 Map of Tuckasegee

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Tuckasegee sits at the confluence of the Tuckasegee River and Caney Fork, serving as a central hub for the remote valleys of Jackson County just after the war. This survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS, reveals a landscape where high ridges like Cullowhee Mountain and Brown Mountain hem in narrow agricultural and residential pockets. Family life is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Shook Cem and Queen Cem, and local social centers like Caney Fork Sch. The presence of Judaculla Rock marks a significant cultural landmark within the Nantahala National Forest, while the distribution of mountain chapels like Catherine Chapel and Sols Creek Ch suggests a population living in scattered, creek-side communities connected by winding routes like Highway 107.
