2011 Map of Asheville

About this map

The French Broad River and Swannanoa River converge at the heart of this urban and mountain landscape, defining the development of Asheville. This modern survey reveals the intricate road and rail network of the early 21st century, including the Southern rail lines and the prominent Beaucatcher Tunnel. For those researching family history, numerous burial grounds are detailed across the map, from the historic Riverside Cemetery near Montford Hills to the West Chapel Cemetery in the southern reaches of Shiloh. The map clearly illustrates the transition from the city's built-up core, including the University of North Carolina - Asheville, to the protected corridor of the Blue Ridge Pkwy and the wooded slopes of Beaucatcher Mountain and Patton Mountain. Residential expansion is visible in neighborhoods like Biltmore Forest, Kenilworth, and Sayles Village, while large recreational areas such as the Municipal Golf Course and Lake Ashnoca highlight the region's long-standing character.
