1935 Map of Montreat
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
Montreat and its surrounding peaks define this 1935 survey, which details the high-altitude landscape where the Black Mountains and Blue Ridge meet. The settlement is centered around Lake Susan, with the Brookside Sch and several local congregations like Mountain View Ch and Homers Chapel serving the valley. To the west, the Asheville Water Supply catchment area dominates the upper Swannanoa River drainage, while the northern boundary reaches the high summits of Mt Mitchell and Clingmans Peak within Mt Mitchell State Park. The map documents a transition in mountain access, showing a Toll Road and Toll Gate ascending toward the peaks, alongside earlier backcountry landmarks like Walkertown and the Gaging Station on the North Fork. Numerous gaps, such as Balsam Gap and Rainbow Gap, illustrate the natural corridors used for travel through these steep divide lines.
