From Beaver Lake’s original sales brochure published before The Great Depression:
Beaver
Lake is located at the only point at which the Valley is broad
enough to contain a considerable community, including the generous
lake itself and an 18-hole golf course – just two miles from the
center of Asheville and within easy walking range of trolley,
school and churches.
An
exceedingly important asset is the famous Dixie Highway, here a
link of the vast state-built-and-maintained motor road system of
North Carolina, which passes through the heart of Beaver Lake.
Finest
of the charms of Beaver Lake is its gently curving and undulating
topography, almost like a succession of billowing waves, with
homesites on the crests and winding streets and parkways between.
A very remarkable landscape indeed.
