1940 Map of Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Hot Springs sits at the heart of this landscape where the French Broad River cuts through the mountains along the North Carolina Tennessee border. This survey, based on 1940 field work, details a critical junction of transport and conservation history. The Southern Railway follows the river's path, connecting the settlements of Stackhouse, Runion, and Shaleville to the regional economy. Higher in the ridges, the nascent Appalachian Trail winds past Rich Mountain and its Lookout Tower, while the Dixie Highway provides early motorized access through the valley.
