1997 Map of Tuckasegee

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Tuckasegee and the upper reaches of the Tuckasegee River define this mountain landscape within the Nantahala National Forest. The map documents a scattered settlement pattern of small mountain communities and church centers like Argura, Cowarts, and Balsam Grove Ch. Educational and spiritual life in the late twentieth century is anchored by facilities such as Caney Fork Sch and Oak Hill Sch, alongside numerous family burial grounds including Shook Cem and Mathis Cem. Significant terrain features like Judaculla Rock and high points such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Wolfpen Gap reveal the orientation of traditional travel routes through the gaps. The presence of the Nantahala Game Land indicates the land's transition into protected wilderness, while the winding paths of Caney Fork and Sugar Creek illustrate the hydrologic network that supported these high-elevation homesteads and farms.
