1946 Map of Bat Cave

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Broad River carves through the Blue Ridge landscape, defining a region of steep slopes and isolated mountain communities. Settlements like Edneyville and Gerton are anchored by a network of local institutions, including St Peters Sch and churches such as St Pauls Ch and Mountain Home Ch. The map reveals the early industrial and utility footprint of the area, from the Maxwell Mill on Clear Creek to a Lookout Tower and FAA Tracking Station perched on high peaks. High elevations are marked by prominent landmarks like Chimney Rock and Sugarloaf Mtn, while the Blue Ridge Parkway begins its traverse along the western ridges. This 1946 Tennessee Valley Authority survey, updated with 1960s aerial photography, captures the transition of these upland farmsteads into a more modern recreation and infrastructure network.
