About this map

Big Pisgah National Forest dominates the terrain of this 1943 survey, illustrating a landscape of high summits and steep drainages at the intersection of Buncombe, Henderson, and Transylvania counties. The northern portion of the map is defined by the headwaters of South Hominy Creek and Dunsmore Mountain, while the southern reaches descend into The Pink Beds. Notable human features include the Buck Spring Lodge and the Bent Creek Experimental Forest, which highlight the region's historical focus on forest management and recreation.
