1902 Map of Mount Mitchell

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Mt. Mitchell towers as the centerpiece of this turn-of-the-century mountain landscape, surrounded by the high-elevation peaks of the Black Mountains and Craggy Mountains. The area’s rugged topography is reflected in the early settlement patterns, with towns like Burnsville and Marion serving as primary hubs while smaller outposts like Pensacola and Micaville follow the narrow river valleys. Surveyed just before the expansion of the Southern Railway through the Blue Ridge crest at Altapass, the map documents the region's early industrial roots, including Mica mining and timber resources within the Pisgah National Forest.
