1942 Map of Leicester

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Leicester serves as a central hub for this rural stretch of the Blue Ridge foothills during the early 1940s, where small-scale agriculture follows the winding paths of Newfound Creek and Turkey Creek. The landscape is defined by its numerous community anchors, particularly a high density of country churches and local schools such as Leicester Sch and French Broad Sch that supported scattered farmsteads before modern consolidation. To the north, the French Broad River carves through the terrain at Bailey Bend, accompanied by the Southern railroad line.
