1947 Map of Craggy Pinnacle

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Pisgah National Forest dominates this landscape northeast of Asheville, where the winding Blue Ridge Parkway traces the high ridges of the Asheville Mountains and Bull Mountain. This 1946 field examination captures the mountain communities of the Reems Creek and Swannanoa areas just as post-war recreation began to reshape the region. Distinctive landmarks like the Lookout Tower near Little Snowball Mtn and the isolated Blackberry Inn sit alongside established gathering places like Camp Sequoyah. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family and community sites, including Browns Chapel, Riceville Ch, and several mountain cemeteries such as Webb Cem and Paint Fork Cem. The topography reveals the intricate water network feeding the Weaverville Reservoir and the headwaters of Flat Creek and Sugar Creek before modern development altered these high-elevation coves.
