1962 Map of Weaverville

About this map

Weaverville and the northern outskirts of Asheville define this landscape along the French Broad River during a period of significant suburban growth. The presence of the Asheville-Weaverville Speedway and the Beaver Lake Golf Course reflects the area's mid-century recreational development. In the highlands, legacy family names persist in landmarks like Lankford Mountain and Brittain Mountain, while small community centers are marked by numerous houses of worship, including Clarks Chapel, Salem Ch, and Mt Bethel Ch. The transportation network is anchored by the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Scenic Highway, which navigate the steep topography of the Swannanoa Mountains to the east. Modern additions captured in purple revision show the expansion of Woodfin and Stocksville as they grew toward the burgeoning county seat.
