About this map

The French Broad River carves a central path through this western North Carolina landscape, serving as a corridor for infrastructure and industry during the late 1970s. The riverside is marked by the Asheville Municipal Airport and the Asheville Steam Plant, complete with its Ash disposal area, signaling the region's mid-century utility development. To the west, the terrain rises into the Pisgah National Forest and the Bent Creek Experimental Forest, where a dense network of gaps and knobs like Soapstone Gap and Hogback Knob define the high ground.
