1946 Map of Table Rock

About this map

Table Rock State Park anchors this 1946 landscape, centered on the dramatic granite faces of Table Rock and The Stool. The terrain is defined by the Blue Ridge Divide, where the waters of the East Fork French Broad River and the Middle Saluda River begin their descent toward separate drainage basins. This mid-century survey captures the region just as the Table Rock Reservoir had become a dominant hydrological feature, providing a stable water source for the growing communities to the south.
