This is a beautifully detailed, laser engraved and precision cut topographical Map of Lake Lure in Rutherford County North Carolina with the following interesting stats carved into it: Created by building dam on the Rocky Broad River, Completed in 1927, Named Lake Lure by Elizabeth Parkenson, wife of Dr. Lucius B. Morse, Surface Area: 720 Acres, Elevation: 990 feet above sea level. Lake Lure and surrounding areas are popular filming locations and have been used in movies such as: Thunder Road (1968), A Breed Apart (1984), Firestarter (1984), Dirty Dancing (1987), The Last of the Mohicans (1992) and My Fellow Americans (1996). This stand out map is mounted onto a tranquil blue background with a key hole cut on the back and is ready to hang. Available in three sizes. Interesting factoid: Lake Lure is a town in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Lake Lure was incorporated in 1927, and acquired the lake after which it is named in 1965. In 1902, Dr. Lucius B. Morse and his brothers Hiram and Asahel purchased 64 acres around Chimney Rock for $5,000. They later acquired enough land in the area to bring the total to 8,000 acres. (Not all of this information made it onto the map, we just love to read up on the lakes we design). All maps include special points of interest laser engraved into the map face and come with a beautiful blue self-adhesive Swarovski Crystal to mark your preferred location on the map. Each map is a beautiful artistic handcrafted work of art using the finest woods with special attention to every detail. Due to the natural variation in wood grain, each map will vary slightly in finish and color. Birch is our wood of preference. Once the map is cut and engraved we hand sand multiple times, assemble and clear coat them for a lustrous wood shine. We believe that this personal attention each and every item receives makes each wooden item a unique work of art. Made in the USA by American workers in an American owned business.
