Asheville's 1891 panoramic map shows the North Carolina mountain town from a high, angled viewpoint, with the ridges of the Blue Ridge rising behind its streets. Albert Ruger and his partner, Stoner, drew the scene in the bird's-eye style they used for many American towns of the period, and the Burleigh lithographic firm printed it. By 1891, Asheville had become a resort and health destination that drew visitors for its mountain air and new hotels, and the map captures the town during a period of rapid growth, when railroads were bringing in travelers and investment.
