The French Broad River snakes through the heart of this Henderson County landscape, defining the character of the valley with the dramatic Horse Shoe Bend. In the early 1940s, this area supported a network of small agricultural and river communities like Etowah and Horse Shoe, connected by the Southern Railway and river crossings such as Kings Bridge and McLean Bridge. The map captures a transitional landscape where the flat valley floor meets the rising peaks of the Pisgah National Forest and the Crab Creek region.
