1965 Map of Pisgah Forest

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The French Broad River and Davidson River converge in this mid-1960s survey of Transylvania County, where industrial sites and mountain coves meet. The community of Pisgah Forest serves as a focal point near the Southern Railway tracks, showing the proximity of manufacturing infrastructure to the protected wilderness of the Pisgah National Forest. This era shows the developed corridor along State Highway 280 connecting Penrose and Blantyre, while the northern half of the map is dominated by the ridges and gaps of the Pisgah Game Preserve. High-altitude features like the Pink Beds and the Blue Ridge Parkway illustrate the transition from the valley floor to the high mountains. Local history is anchored by numerous small landmarks, including the Davidson River Cemetery, Turkey Creek Cemetery, and several rural sanctuaries such as Oak Grove Church and English Chapel.
