1965 Map of Skyland
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The French Broad River carves a central path through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a corridor for industry and transit. To its east, the Asheville Steam Plant and the growing Asheville Municipal Airport signify a shift toward modern infrastructure, while the Southern railroad line anchors established communities like Fletcher and Arden. The terrain transitions sharply from the developed river valley to the protected wilderness of the Pisgah Game Preserve and the Bent Creek Experimental Forest in the west.
