1960 Map of Elk Park
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The mountain community of Elk Park and the neighboring industrial hub at Cranberry define this high-country landscape along the state line between North Carolina and Tennessee. This survey captures a region where agriculture and resource extraction meet the early development of educational and social institutions, exemplified by the campus of Lees-McRae College and the Grandfather Home for Children near Banner Elk. The terrain is marked by high ridges like Beech Mountain and Linville Mountain, with the Elk River carving a valley through the Pisgah National Forest.
