1940 Map of Paint Rock

About this map

The French Broad River carves a deep path through the Southern Appalachians on this map, crossing the Tennessee-North Carolina state line. This rugged corridor is defined by the high ridges of Meadow Creek Mountain and Houston Mountain, where a Lookout Tower once surveyed the timber of the Pisgah National Forest. The map documents a scattered rural landscape of small settlements like Paint Rock and Lanceville, along with numerous family-named landmarks that point to deep-rooted local history.
