USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
The Cherokee Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this 1941 survey, centered on the Qualla Tract where the Oconaluftee River meets the Tuckasegee River. The area reflects a complex geography of tribal lands and federal forestry, with the Nantahala National Forest spanning the southern reaches. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and the Southern rail line, connecting the mountain communities of Whittier, Birdtown, and Cherokee.
