Description

This topographic map, produced by the United States Geological Survey, includes much of Swain County, North Carolina. The map was collected by Horace Kephart (1862-1931), noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author, and it is likely that the notations on the back of the map are his. After moving to western North Carolina in 1904, Kephart became fascinated by the Appalachian landscape and culture and collected clippings, photographs, and maps of the region throughout his life.
