1940 Map of Waterville

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Pigeon River cuts a deep path through the high-elevation borderlands where the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee National Forest, and Pisgah National Forest converge. This 1940 field examination captures the industrial and rural life of the era, centered on the Waterville settlement and its prominent Power Plant and Surge Tank facilities. The rugged landscape is dotted with remote mountain communities and institutions, such as Over Mountain Sch, London, and Tom Town, which are connected by a network of gap-crossing trails and primitive roads.
