1940 Map of Waterville

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Snowbird Mountain and the high ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park dominate this landscape along the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. The 1940 field examination reveals a rugged network of gaps and coves where small communities like Tom Town and Midway are tucked between steep peaks. At Waterville, a concentrated industrial footprint is evident near the Pigeon River, featuring a Power Plant and Surge Tank that highlight the era's hydroelectric development.
