USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
Cherokee Indian Reservation lands dominate this 1941 landscape, where the Oconaluftee River meets the Tuckasegee River. The area shows a complex intersection of tribal heritage and federal land management, with the Qualla Tract and the Great Smoky Mts National Park border both present. Settlements like Cherokee and Whittier are hubs of activity, the latter situated along the Southern railroad line. Local life is documented through numerous mountain houses of worship, including Worley Chapel and Gargie Memorial Ch.
