Tuckasegee River headwaters dominate this mid-century portrait of Jackson County, where the Tennessee Valley Authority and Geological Survey documented a landscape of high ridges and narrow creek valleys. The map shows the area's transition into a managed timber and hydroelectric resource within the Nantahala National Forest, anchored by the waters of Cedar Cliff Lake. Small settlements like Tuckasegee and Cowarts are surrounded by numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, reflecting a deeply rooted mountain community.
