1997 Map of Shining Rock

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Shining Rock Wilderness Area and the high ridges of the Pisgah National Forest dominate this landscape, showing a region managed for conservation and recreation in the late twentieth century. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes across peaks like Black Balsam Knob and Tennent Mountain, with drainage basins feeding the East Fork Pigeon River. Unlike the developed lowlands, this area preserves evidence of early industrial activity and resource management, including the Silvermine and a generic Mine site near the northern boundary.
