About this map

Howard Knob and Rich Mountain overlook the high-elevation basin where the S Fork New River begins its course. This 2013 survey documents the significant expansion of the High Country's mountain communities, from established centers like Blowing Rock and Perkinsville to newer residential developments such as Sorrento Skies and Grandview Heights. The map reflects a landscape defined by tourism and leisure, capturing the Boone Golf Course, the Daniel Boone Theater, and the recreational hub at Ski Mountain.

Evidence of the area's complex institutional history is visible at Prison Camp 116 near Oak Grove, while the cultural legacy of summer camps is preserved through labels for Camp Yonahlossee, Camp Sky Ranch, and Camp Catawba. The winding path of the Blue Ridge Pkwy follows the southeastern ridges, connecting historic gaps and providing access to family-named landmarks like Yarnall Knob and Thunder Hill.
