1941 Map of Vonore

About this map

The Little Tennessee River and Tellico River dominate this 1941 landscape, winding through a network of islands and historical river crossings before modern dam projects altered the valley. The map documents the strategic importance of the area, featuring the site of Fort Loudon and the Niles Ferry Toll Bridge near McGhee. Evidence of the region’s early agriculture and settlement patterns is visible through family landmarks like Shaddon Mill and numerous small cemeteries such as Toqua Cem and Henley Cem.
