1935 Map of Vonore

About this map

Vonore and the winding confluence of the Little Tennessee River and Tellico River dominate this mid-1930s landscape, just before the era of major valley transformations. The map details a river-dependent economy where river crossings like Bacon Ferry, Tomotley Ford, and the Niles Ferry Bridge were critical infrastructure for local commerce and travel. History is preserved at the Fort Loudoun Monument, marking the site of the colonial-era British fortification.
