1959 Map of Globe

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Globe and the surrounding mountain ridges of the Pisgah National Forest characterize this mid-century survey along the Watauga and Caldwell County line. The landscape is defined by the steep terrain of the Blue Ridge, where numerous family-named cemeteries such as Tolbert Cem, McLean Cem, and Herman Cem suggest a history of isolated family homesteads. The Yadkin River and Johns River drain the high country, with small settlements like Upton and Bailey situated along narrow valley floors.
