1946 Map of Sam Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Richland Balsam and a series of high ridges define this section of the Great Balsam Mountains during the mid-1940s. The landscape is marked by the early development of the Blue Ridge Parkway as it winds past landmarks like Devils Courthouse and Silvermine Bald. This survey captures the transition from old mountain travelways, such as the Turnpike near Coon Hollow Branch, to modern scenic infrastructure.
