About this map

Montreat and its centerpiece Lake Susan occupy a steep mountain valley during the early 1940s, serving as a hub of retreat and education. To the southwest, Black Mtn College and Lake Eden appear at a significant moment in the college's history, while the surrounding Pisgah National Forest and Asheville Watershed dominate the high ridges of the Craggy Mountains. The terrain is characterized by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where the North Fork Swannanoa River begins its descent through narrow coves like Buckeye Cove.
