1947 Map of Tuckasegee

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Nantahala National Forest covers much of this Jackson County landscape, where the Tuckasegee River meets a network of steep mountain branches. The settlement at Tuckasegee serves as a local hub near the Woodring Cem, while remote communities like Argura and Cowarts are situated along the winding valley floor. Cultural landmarks including the Judaculla Rock and numerous family burying grounds, such as Stephenson Cem and Queen Cem, are documented alongside rural institutions like the Caney Fork Sch and Oak Hill Sch. The topography is defined by high gaps and ridges, with Wolfpen Gap and Mayapple Gap providing passage through the heavy terrain. This survey reflects a mid-century mountain economy transitioning into its modern role as a protected forest area, capturing the exact location of Catherine Chapel and Balsam Grove Ch before later development.
