1956 Map of Linville Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Pisgah National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, where the dramatic descent of the Linville River carves the deep Linville Gorge. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks and ridges including Hawksbill Mtn, Tablerock Mtn, and The Chimneys, providing a topographical window into the Blue Ridge before extensive modern development. Transportation patterns are defined by the winding Blue Ridge Parkway and the industrial route of the Clinchfield RR skirting the western slopes.
