USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Burnsville serves as the central hub of this Yancey County landscape, surveyed just before the 1940s. The town's layout and surrounding valley roads reveal a community deeply connected by the Cane River, which winds through the mountain passes alongside smaller settlements like Riverside and Windom. The map captures a transition in local infrastructure, showing the State Prison Camp near the river and the Mt Mitchell Boys Camp tucked along Creek.
