1945 Map of Rosman

About this map

The French Broad River system converges in this mid-century survey of western Transylvania County, where the north, east, and middle forks meet near the town of Rosman. This industrial and transit hub is defined by the Southern Railway corridor and U.S. Route 64, which follow the river valley through the Pisgah National Forest. A notable institutional landmark is the State Prison Camp situated near Calvert, while the surrounding mountains are dotted with specialized retreats like the Transylvania School Camp, Keystone Camp, and Camp Illahee.
