This circa 1900 railroad map of western North Carolina shows counties and topography as well as railroad lines. The lines are color coded, but the labels are somewhat difficult to read. Orange lines are Southern lines. Blue lines are Central Carolina lines. Some yellow lines read Norfolk & Western, but some have other labels. A green line heading south from Anson County is an Atlantic Coast line.
