1960 Map of Grandfather Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Linville serves as a primary settlement on this landscape, which is defined by the high elevations of the Tennessee Valley Divide and the Pisgah National Forest. The map documents the mountain economy and infrastructure of the mid-20th century, including the U.S. Weather Station Mile High Swinging Bridge and a quarry near Linville Bluffs. Transport and recreation are integrated into the terrain via the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Daniel Boone Scout Trail, which winds past Raven Rocks. Small rural communities like Gragg and Edgemont are preserved here, supported by local institutions such as New Hopewell Church and Peoples Ch. The geography is deeply etched by water, with Wilson Creek and the Linville River draining the ridges, while various family-named landmarks like Coffey Trout Lake and the Gragg Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research.
