1947 Map of Craggy Pinnacle

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Pisgah National Forest dominates this mountain landscape just east of Asheville, centered on the high ridges and deep coves of the Great Craggy Mountains. The newly established Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the high elevations, passing landmarks like Craggy Pinnacle and Lane Pinnacle. In the lower valleys, the mid-century settlement pattern of Buncombe County is visible through local hubs like Riceville and the Blackberry Inn. Infrastructure for the growing region is evidenced by the Beetree Reservoir and Weaverville Reservoirs, which secured water for surrounding communities. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family-named cemeteries and rural congregations, including Union Valley Ch, Browns Chapel, and the Ballard Cem. These features, alongside Camp Sequoyah, reflect an era of increasing recreation and established mountain life.
