1947 Map of Craggy Pinnacle

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the high elevations of the Craggy Mountains in this post-war survey of Buncombe County. This map documents a transition in the landscape where established mountain communities like Riceville and Paint Fork exist alongside developing recreational and conservation areas. The high ridges are anchored by Craggy Pinnacle and Craggy Gardens, while the valleys below are dotted with family heritage sites, including the Paint Fork Cem and Anderson Cem. The presence of Rattlesnake Lodge and Camp Sequoyah indicates the area's mid-century role as a retreat destination. Water management is evident through the Woodfin Res and Beetree Reservoir, which capture the runoff from peaks like Little Snowball Mtn and Hawkbill Rock. This map is particularly useful for genealogists tracing families associated with Browns Chapel or the numerous small cemeteries found along the forks and branches of Reems Creek.
