1960 Map of Grandfather Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Grandfather Mountain and the towering peaks of the Blue Ridge dominate this topographic study, revealing the landscape before modern development fully altered the high country. The map captures the famous Mile High Swinging Bridge and nearby U.S. Weather Station on the ridge, alongside natural landmarks like Calloway Peak and The Sphinx Rock. In the valley, the village of Linville is shown with its early road network and Golf course, while smaller settlements such as Gragg and Edgemont appear further south.
