USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Marion serves as a significant hub in the early 1960s where the Southern Railway and Clinchfield RR intersect, driving the development of nearby West Marion and Pleasant Gardens. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the industrial and transport corridor along the Catawba River to the protected heights of the Pisgah National Forest. To the west, the town of Old Fort sits at the foot of Heartbreak Ridge, a name that hints at the difficult terrain encountered by early travelers crossing the Blue Ridge.
