About this map

The industrial and agrarian landscape of western Buncombe County is centered on Enka Village and the massive facility near Enka Lake. Following the course of Hominy Creek, the Southern Railway serves as the economic spine of the region, connecting smaller communities like Candler Heights and Acton. The map reveals a high density of community landmarks, from the Pisgah Industrial Institute to numerous country churches like Zion Hill Ch and Snow Hill Ch, reflecting the social fabric of the 1940s.
