1956 Map of Collettsville

About this map

Collettsville sits at the confluence of the Johns River and Mulberry Creek in this mid-century survey of western Caldwell County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of the Pisgah National Forest, where features like Sand Mtn Lookout Tower and High Knob overlook the narrow hollows. The map records a rural network of community landmarks, particularly the numerous country churches such as Green Valley Ch, Mulvale Ch, and Fleming Chapel.
