1959 Map of Walhalla
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Walhalla stands at the foot of the Blue Ridge foothills, serving as a hub for the textile and timber economies of Oconee County during the late 1950s. The map illustrates the town’s significant expansion southward toward West Union, balanced by the preserved wilderness of Sumter National Forest to the northwest. A fascinating glimpse into unfinished infrastructure is visible at Stumphouse Mtn Tunnel, alongside the Saddle Tunnel (Abandoned) and Middle Tunnel (Abandoned), which reflect the 19th-century efforts to pierce the mountains for a rail line that was never completed.
