About this map

Bryson and Webster serve as the primary hubs in this late-19th-century survey of the Blue Ridge mountain region, where the Tuckasegee River and Oconalufty River shape the paths of early commerce. The rugged terrain of the Plott Balsams and Al Arka Mountains is pierced by the Southern Railway, featuring the notable Cowee Tunnel and a series of stations including Dillsboro, Sylva, Wilmot, and Addie.
