2011 Map of Boone

About this map

Appalachian State University anchors the High Country landscape, surrounded by a complex network of mountain settlements and family landmarks. This 2011 survey illustrates the development of Boone and Blowing Rock as tourism and education hubs, linked by Us 321. The map reveals a dense distribution of family burial grounds, such as Adams Cemetery, Hollars Cemetery, and Moretz Cemetery, which provide critical reference points for local genealogists. Industrial activity is noted at Hodges Gap Quarry and Bamboo Quarry, while recreational and historical sites like the Daniel Boone Theater and Camp Sky Ranch reflect the area’s identity as a destination. Notable water features, including Price Lake and Chetola Lake, are detailed alongside significant elevation markers like Howard Knob and Rich Mountain.
