About this map

Edneyville serves as the primary hub of this 1935 landscape, where the Blue Ridge mountains define the settlement patterns of Henderson and Buncombe counties. This advance sheet, compiled from aerial photography by the Tennessee Valley Authority, reveals a high-altitude agricultural and forest community organized around numerous country churches and schools. A network of rural structures including Barnwell Ch, Liberty Ch, and Mt Moriah Ch suggests a deeply rooted social fabric in the mountain hollows. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Bearwallow Mtn, which features a prominent Fire Tower, and Whiteside Mtn. Waterways like Clear Creek and Cane Creek wind through the valleys, providing the natural corridors for early state routes including State No 20 and State No 28 as they navigate the steep gaps and ridges of the southern Appalachians.
