1946 Map of Mt. Mitchell

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Cane River carves a deep valley through the high peaks of Pisgah National Forest in this 1946 field examination. Small mountain settlements such as Pensacola, Murchison, and Eskota cling to the riverbanks, connected by a winding road that once featured a Toll Gate south of Murchison. The landscape is defined by its extreme verticality, rising from the river to the crest of the Black Mountains at the Lookout Tower near the summit of Mt. Mitchell.
