USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Cherokee Indian Reservation dominates this 1940 landscape, centered on the confluence of the Oconaluftee River and the Tuckasegee River. The area is characterized by the complex geography of the Qualla Tract, where the Southern railroad follows the river bends through Whittier and Wilmot. Education and community life are well-documented through labels for the Cherokee Indian Sch, Soco Sch, and the Shoal Creek Sch. A notable presence in the central valley is the State Prison Camp, situated near the riverbanks.
