About this map

Hendersonville serves as the focal point of this late 20th-century survey, illustrating the urbanization of this highland region. The industrial and transportation corridor follows the Southern Railway as it passes through Barker Heights and East Flat Rock, while institutional land use is evident at the Bonclarken Assembly Grounds and the Mud Creek Assembly Grounds. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous small burial sites and sanctuaries such as the Mt Pisgah Ch Beagle Cem, St Matthews Cem, and Stanford Chapel.

The physical geography is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and the Blue Ridge Divide, which split the drainage between the Mud Creek and Henderson Creek systems. Higher elevations are marked by prominent peaks like Stoney Mountain and Glassy Mountain, while the valley floors are dotted with recreational sites like Camp Pinewood and Camp Pinnacle, reflecting the area's long-standing character as a mountain retreat.
