1942 Map of Dunsmore Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Pisgah National Forest dominates this 1942 landscape, where the high ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains converge at the borders of Buncombe, Henderson, Haywood, and Transylvania counties. The map reflects a period of established federal land management, highlighting the Bent Creek Experimental Forest and the North Mills River Recreation Area. In the northwest corner, the rural community life along South Hominy Creek is anchored by Pisgah Ch and a local Cem, while higher elevations feature landmarks like Buck Spring Lodge and a Lookout Tower on Ferrin Knob. This survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the French Broad watershed, from the headwaters of the North Fork Mills River to the Hendersonville Reservoir, providing a detailed record of the trails, gaps, and family-named knobs before mid-century development.
