About this map

Pisgah National Forest dominates the western landscape of this 1936 survey, where the French Broad River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Buncombe and Henderson counties. The era of the New Deal is visible through the presence of CGC Camp No 22 and CCC Camp No 5, reflecting federal conservation efforts within the Appalachian highlands. Along the eastern corridor, the Southern railroad connects established communities like Arden and Fletcher, serving as the spine for local commerce and travel. The map captures a detailed network of rural life, from the Arden School to numerous country sanctuaries such as Mt Carmel Ch and Fanning Chapel. Notable bridges like the Glenn Bridge and Butler Bridge illustrate the 1930s infrastructure that linked riverside settlements like Mills River and Brickton to the larger regional trade centers.
