This 1891 bird's-eye view presents Asheville from a high oblique angle, setting the town's streets and buildings against the surrounding mountain ridges. By then Asheville had become a resort and health destination, with visitors drawn by its mountain air, and the railroad had reached the city in 1880. Maps like this one served both as promotion and as a practical survey, so the view is worth studying for how the town was laid out during its early tourist boom.
