1947 Map of Hendersonville

About this map

Hendersonville serves as the hub of this 1946 field study, where the Southern railroad line carves a north-south path through the center of town. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the dense street grid of the city and the surrounding peaks of the Blue Ridge, including Stoney Mtn and Glassy Mountain. To the south and east, the map reveals a collection of textile and residential outposts like East Flat Rock and Balfour, alongside numerous rural congregations such as Stanford Chapel, Mt Zion Ch, and Draffin Hall Ch.
