1941 Map of Black Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Blue Ridge Mountains and Swannanoa Mountains meet at this high-altitude junction, where the Southern railroad winds through the critical Swannanoa Gap towards Black Mountain. The map reveals a cluster of institutional landmarks along the Swannanoa River, including the Mountain Orphanage, State Hospital, and State Test Farm. These larger facilities are balanced by intimate community sites like the Blue Ridge YMCA Camp and several small rural congregations, such as Tabernacle Ch and Curteys Chapel.
