1967 Map of Whittier

Transport and topography play a significant role here, with the Southern railroad following the river bend near Whittier and Wilmot. The map records numerous family-named burial grounds such as Sherrill Cem, Reagan Cem, and Gunter Cem, providing valuable data for genealogists. To the south, the terrain rises into the Nantahala National Forest, while the northern boundary touches the Great Smoky Mtns Nat Park at Whiteoak Flats.
