Map Showing the Distribution of Talc Deposits in Portions of Swain and Cherokee Counties

Mines and mineral resources

This 'Map Showing the Distribution of Talc Deposits in Portions of Swain and Cherokee Counties' was published in Joseph Hyde Pratt's 'Talc and Pyrophyllite Deposits in North Carolina.' Concerning the talc deposits, Pratt noted that: 'As is shown by this map, the talc formation beginning in Swain county about six miles east of the Valley River mountains, follows up the valley of the Nantahala river to near the Macon county line, then up the Nelson creek ravine and crosses the mountains at an altitude of 2,800 feet at Red Marble Gap. Entering Cherokee county, it then follows down the valley of Valley river, broadening out near Andrews to a width of about one-half a mile . . . .' (p. 10)

Pratt, Joseph Hyde, 1870-1942
