1934 Map of White Rocks Mtn

About this map

The Doe River carves a deep valley through the high country of eastern Tennessee, serving as the primary corridor for the East Tenn and Western North Carolina RR as it threads through Roan Mountain. This 1934 survey documents a rugged landscape where human settlement is tightly constrained by the relief of White Rocks Mountain and Walnut MTN. The map records an intricate network of rural mountain life, centered on small schools such as the Butter End Sch and Sugar Hollow Sch, and isolated homesteads near Heaton Creek.
