About this map

The Tuckasegee River and the Western North Carolina Railroad define the industrial and transit corridor of this 1880s survey, highlighting the difficult engineering required to pierce the Blue Ridge. Central to this effort is the Cowee Tunnel, a critical link near Webster that facilitated trade and travel through the steep terrain of the Plot Balsams and Alarka Creek Mountains.
