1947 Map of Cox Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The town of Ashville sits at the western edge of this topographic study, where the valley floor meets the Canoe Creek Mountains. Surveyed shortly after World War II, the landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of the Hines Mountain, Beaver Creek Mountains, and Shoal Creek Mountains. These ridges create distinct corridors like Beaver Creek Valley and Shoal Creek Valley, which are navigable only through strategic passes such as Cox Gap, Looney Gap, and Leighton Gap. Rural life in the late 1940s is evidenced by a network of local congregations, including Gum Springs Ch, Weeping Mary Ch, and Bethany Ch. A notable industrial element is the Pipe Line cutting across the northern terrain, contrasting with the natural drainage of Big Canoe Creek and the southern Trout Creek.
