GIS Maps
http://gis.ashevillenc.gov/mapAsheville/map.asp  - contemporary maps that can be used to orient users to the city and to the street locations of many of the urban renewal projects. Note that many streets disappeared during urban renewal and many streets have been renamed and many new streets have been created in the process of urban renewal.  The City of Asheville GIS maps will only work for current mapping, and does not contain older maps.
