1994 Map of Globe

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Pisgah National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape in western Caldwell County, where the topography rises sharply toward the Blue Ridge escarpment. The settlement of Globe sits at the confluence of several mountain drainages, including Johns River and Gragg Creek, serving as a central point for a network of rural roads and family cemeteries. Higher elevations are marked by the Blue Ridge Parkway winding along the northern edge, passing near Blowing Rock and through Julian Price Memorial Park. This 1994 revision highlights the distribution of historic community landmarks such as Bailey Camp Church and the Edmisten Cemetery, which remain anchored in the hollows between prominent landforms like Backbone Ridge and Globe Mountain. The drainage patterns, particularly Thunderhole Creek and Mulberry Creek, illustrate how the rugged terrain dictated the placement of small mountain settlements and homesteads.
