1997 Map of Brevard

About this map

Brevard and its surrounding mountain communities are captured in the late 1990s, revealing a landscape defined by the French Broad River and the expansive reach of the Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest. The map documents a blend of residential growth in areas like Broadview Estates and Forest Hills alongside industrial sites such as a chemical plant and the Brevard Landing Strip. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named landmarks and resting places are noted, including the Glazener Cem, Wilson Cem, and the Rosenwald School. The terrain is marked by distinctive peaks like Sugar Loaf Mountain and Becky Mountain, with numerous falls and lakes such as Glencannon Falls and Marchmans Lake feeding the local waterways near the Tennessee Valley Divide.
