1942 Map of Skyland

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The French Broad River and Mills River converge in this 1942 survey, defining a landscape of agricultural valleys and timbered highlands on the border of Buncombe and Henderson counties. The Southern railroad corridor serves as the primary artery for local commerce, linking established communities like Fletcher and Arden with smaller stops such as Brickton and Naples. On the western edge, the topography rises sharply into the Pisgah National Forest, where landmarks like Chestnut Top and Hogback Knob overlook the drainage basins of Avery Creek and the South Fork Mills River.
