About this map

Wayah Bald and the surrounding high ridges of the Nantahala Mountains dominate this 1942 edition, which reflects the landscape as it appeared during the mid-1930s surveys. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Wine Spring Bald and Copper Bald, while the human footprint is concentrated in the deep valleys. The settlement of Rainbow Springs sits along the upper reaches of the Nantahala River, while the southern portion of the map follows the winding course of Shooting Creek.
