1940 Map of Waterville

About this map

Waterville serves as a focal point for this mountain landscape at the boundary of Tennessee and North Carolina. The settlement sits along the Big Creek and Pigeon River, where a Power Plant and Surge Tank indicate the development of early hydroelectric infrastructure. This era of transformation is captured through a blend of wilderness and established mountain communities, with the Appalachian Trail threading through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Pisgah National Forest.
