1960 Map of Little Switzerland
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Clinchfield railroad carves a remarkable engineering path through the Blue Ridge, dominated by a series of tunnels including the Bird Ridge Tunnel, Upper Pine Tunnel, and the triple sequence of the 1st Washburn, 2nd Washburn, and 3rd Washburn. This transit network supports the mountain settlements of Little Switzerland and Wildacres, while the high country is punctuated by the Woods Mountain Lookout Tower and a prominent stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway near Gillespie Gap.
