1939 Map of White Rock
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
White Rock and the surrounding high-country hollows of Madison County are captured here during a 1939 Tennessee Valley Authority field examination. The landscape is defined by tight-knit mountain communities like Cutshalltown, Guntertown, and Belva, where family names are etched into the terrain through landmarks such as Shelton Cem and Gosnell Cem. The rural economy of the pre-war era is evident in the presence of the Rice Mill and Rice Sch along Big Laurel Creek, serving a population dispersed among the ridges and gaps of the Pisgah National Forest.
