About this map

Waterville stands as a focal point of industrial development along the Pigeon River in this 1940 record, which includes significant revisions from 1968. The map details a complex electrical infrastructure including a Power Plant, Surge Tank, and the Cataloochee Hydroelectric Tunnel, illustrating the hydraulic engineering of the era. This industrial presence contrasts with the surrounding mountain landscape, much of which is designated as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Pisgah National Forest.
