1994 Map of Little Switzerland

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Little Switzerland serves as the focal point of this 1994 revision, perched along the winding route of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The terrain is defined by the high ridges of the Pisgah National Forest, where the landscape drops sharply from peaks like Rich Knob and Stony Knob toward the valley floors of the North Fork Catawba River. Significant engineering for mountain transport is visible in a dense sequence of railroad tunnels, including the Upper Pine Tunnel, Bird Ridge Tunnel, and Little Switzerland Tunnel, which navigate the complex topography of The Loop.
