1901 Map of Asheville

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Asheville sits at the confluence of the French Broad River and the Swannanoa River in this survey based on late-nineteenth-century fieldwork. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of the Walnut Mountains and Elk Mountains, where timber and early mountain tourism shaped local economies. The Southern Railway follows the river north toward Marshall and Stackhouse, providing a vital lifeline through the gap to Tennessee.
