1956 Map of Linville Falls
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Linville River carves a deep path through the heart of this landscape, creating the dramatic Linville Gorge as it flows south toward the Catawba River. In the mid-1950s, this area of the Pisgah National Forest shows a rugged topography where the Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the crests of Jonas Ridge and Pink Ridge. Small mountain communities like Altamont are defined by local landmarks such as Pisgah Ch and Walnut Grove Ch, while family histories are anchored at Wise Cem and Wilson Cem.
