1942 Map of Montreat

About this map

The town of Montreat sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge Parkway, serving as a gateway to the high peaks of the Black Mountains in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by the extensive Asheville Watershed, which funnels into the Burnett Reservoir, a critical water source for the region. To the south, the community of Black Mountain and the campus of Black Mtn College provide a counterpoint to the wilder reaches of the Pisgah National Forest and the Mt Mitchell State Park at the northern margin.
