1901 Map of Asheville

About this map

Asheville serves as the focal point of this late-nineteenth-century survey, showcasing its early urban layout before the city's twentieth-century expansion. The Southern railroad follows the winding course of the French Broad River, a critical transportation corridor linking the mountain settlements of Hot Springs, Stackhouse, and Barnard. The geography is defined by high peaks and ridges such as the Walnut Mountains and Meadow Creek Mountains, which hem in the narrow river valleys and influence the scattered settlement patterns of Marshall and Mars Hill.
