1936 Map of Enka

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Enka and the surrounding Buncombe County landscape are captured here during a period of significant industrial and educational development in the mid-1930s. The presence of the Pisgah Industrial Institute and Christian Sch north of the Southern railroad line indicates a focused effort on local vocational training during this era. The industrial footprint of the Enka plant is clearly visible near Enka Lake, marking the transition of the Hominy Creek valley from a purely agrarian setting to a manufacturing hub.
