USGS Topo · Published 1936About this map
Boone and the surrounding high country of Watauga and Caldwell counties are captured here in a period of transition, surveyed just as the Blue Ridge Parkway was being routed through the region. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of the Blue Ridge and Pisgah National Forest, where small agrarian communities and timber-era settlements like Shulls Mills are linked by rugged gaps such as Deep Gap and Horton Gap.
