1942 Map of Dunsmore Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Dunsmore Mountain and the high ridges of the Pisgah National Forest define this 1942 survey, where the border between Buncombe, Henderson, and Haywood counties meets. The landscape is a network of deep coves and gaps, including Berrys Gap and Glady Fork Gap, which served as critical passage points for local travel before modern highway development. Cultural landmarks like Pisgah Ch and the Kelly Cem sit near the northern edge, while the southern reaches feature The Pink Beds and the Buck Spring Lodge. This era reflects a transition toward managed conservation and recreation, evidenced by the Bent Creek Experimental Forest and the North Mills River Recreation Area. Numerous family-named features, such as Candler Knob and Young Pisgah Mtn, provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this mountain region.
