Asheville serves as the regional hub at the dawn of the twentieth century, where the Southern Railway follows the winding path of the French Broad River through the Blue Ridge. This 1890s survey by H.M. Wilson reveals a landscape defined by high peaks and narrow valleys, where older transportation routes like the Asheville and Murphy Turnpike and the Knoxville Road connect mountain communities. From the industrial activity at Canton and Clyde to the established resort character of Hot Springs, the map documents the area's development before modern highways.
