1941 Map of Waynesville

About this map

Waynesville and Hazelwood anchor the northwest corner of this terrain, where the Southern railroad line follows the course of Richland Creek. To the south and east, the landscape rises into the Pisgah National Forest, a region defined by high ridges like Lickstone Ridge and Cold Mountain. The West Fork Pigeon River feeds into Lake Logan, a significant high-altitude water body that supported local industry and recreation during the mid-twentieth century.
