2010 Map of Bat Cave

About this map

Bat Cave and the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills are defined by the winding course of the Broad River and its numerous steep tributaries. This early 21st-century landscape includes the long-established mountain settlements of Gerton and Edneyville, where family-named roads and landmarks like Maxwell Mill reflect generations of local residency. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Bearwallow Mountain and Point Lookout Mountain to the narrow valleys containing Hickorynut Gap. This map serves as an excellent resource for locating historical community sites, such as Hill Cemetery and Connor Cemetery, and the recreation-related Camp Minnehaha Falls. Water is a constant presence, with numerous cascades like Bead and Lace Falls and Toms Falls draining the surrounding peaks into the Hungry River and Clear Creek systems.
