1940 Map of Wesser

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Nantahala Gorge serves as the dramatic centerpiece of this 1940 survey, where the Nantahala River and the Southern Railway parallel one another through the deep mountain passes of the Nantahala National Forest. The map documents a landscape defined by isolated homesteads and small mountain communities like Wesser, Needmore, and Almond just before the mid-century. Significant for genealogy and local history, it identifies the locations of the Watia Ch, Wesser Ch, and several family cemeteries such as Tabor Cem and Breedlove Cem.
