1956 Map of Ashford

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Pisgah National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape where the Blue Ridge escarpment drops toward the northern reaches of Lake James. The terrain is defined by the North Fork Catawba River and the Linville River, which carve through deep valleys flanked by peaks like Shortoff Mtn and Dobson Knob. Transportation routes follow the natural topography, with the Clinchfield railroad and the Blue Ridge Parkway skirting the northwestern high ground near Ashford.
