1960 Map of Little Switzerland
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Little Switzerland and the surrounding Blue Ridge heights are defined by a complex transportation network that winds through the Pisgah National Forest. The Clinchfield railroad dominates the eastern slopes, utilizing an intricate system of tunnels such as the Little Switzerland Tunnel and Bird Ridge Tunnel to navigate the steep descent toward the North Fork Catawba River. This engineering feat includes The Loop, a distinctive spiral necessary for managing the grade.
