1935 Map of Pisgah Forest

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Pink Beds anchor the northern reaches of this 1935 survey, a unique high-elevation valley that has long been a focal point of North Carolina forestry. The landscape is defined by the deep drainage of the South Fork Mills River and the Davidson River, where the U.S. Forest Service Administrative Site and CCC Camp No P 66 signal the era of active federal conservation and mountain management. In the lower elevations to the south and east, the Southern Railway corridor connects small settlements like Blantyre and Penrose, where local life is marked by the Penrose Sch, Enon Ch, and Turkey Creek Ch. The presence of the Davidson River Cem and Osborn Cem offers specific touchpoints for family historians. This record preserves the terrain just as the Pisgah National Forest was being established as a cornerstone of the regional economy and environmental identity.
