1947 Map of Craggy Pinnacle

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Craggy Mountains and the high ridges of the Pisgah National Forest dominate this landscape, which was field-checked by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the mid-1940s. The topography reveals a mix of early 20th-century mountain living and newer recreational developments. Social centers are marked by country churches like Browns Chapel and Union Valley Ch, while seasonal retreats such as the Blackberry Inn and Camp Sequoyah sit near the waters of Reems Creek. The map records a transition in the local economy toward tourism and conservation, evidenced by the presence of Rattlesnake Lodge and the threading of the Blue Ridge Parkway along the crests. For genealogists, several family-named burial grounds including Ballard Cem and Anderson Cem are carefully noted near the headwaters of Paint Fork.
