About this map

Hendersonville serves as the focal point of this 1965 survey, updated through 1990 to show the urban expansion of the county seat. The Southern Railway corridor anchors the valley, connecting the industrial nodes of Balfour and East Flat Rock. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide winding through the eastern hills and a dense concentration of religious and recreational retreats, such as the Bonclarken Assembly Grounds and Our Lady of the Hills Camp.

Beyond the central city, the map reveals the varied social fabric of the Blue Ridge foothills. Residential enclaves like Barker Heights and Valley Hill sit alongside functional landmarks including the Western NC Fairgrounds and the Radio tower (WHKP). Family-named points like Cagle Mtn and Dodging Hill punctuate the terrain, while the extensive reach of Mud Creek and its many branches illustrate the complex drainage patterns that shaped early settlement in Henderson Co.
