1946 Map of Tuckasegee

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Tuckasegee River carves through the southern landscape of this mid-century Jackson County survey, where the valley floor supports the community of Tuckasegee and the neighboring settlements of Cowarts and Argura. High-elevation landmarks like Brasstown Knob and Sassafras Knob rise within the Nantahala National Forest, illustrating the deep verticality of the Blue Ridge terrain before major development. This 1946 field examination captures a network of rural institutions, including the Caney Fork Sch and the Oak Hill Sch, alongside numerous family burial grounds such as Stephenson Cem and Brasstown Cem. Significant cultural sites like Judaculla Rock are documented alongside a web of creeks—including Caney Fork and Sugar Creek—that dictated the placement of early mountain homesteads and churches like Catherine Chapel and Balsam Grove Ch.
