1961 Map of Wesser

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Fontana Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the Little Tennessee River and Nantahala River converge amidst the dense reaches of the Nantahala National Forest. The 1961 survey, published by the U.S. Geological Survey and Tennessee Valley Authority, captures the area during a period of established hydroelectric management, showing the intricate shoreline and mile markers along the water. The rugged topography is defined by the steep Nantahala Gorge, where the Southern railroad line follows the river's bend. Small settlements like Almond, Needmore, and Lauada serve as primary points of interest for local history, while remote landmarks such as Tellico Church and the Maple Springs Cem provide valuable data for genealogical research. The map also delineates the high ridges of the Stecoah Mountains and prominent peaks like Wesser Bald.
