About this map

The French Broad River carves a winding path through this landscape, creating a complex series of islands and shoals including Seven Islands and Huffaker Shoals. The river’s importance to the local economy and geography is evident in the naming of large land features like Frazier Bend and Underwood Bend, alongside numerous islands such as Brabson Island and Buckingham Island.

Settlement patterns in the early 21st century show a mix of established communities like Seymour and Trundle Crossroad alongside more rural pockets such as Ellis Hollow. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Johnson Frazier Cem and the former site of Peters Mill. The infrastructure of the area is further marked by the Kenner Farm Airport and a network of creeks including Boyds Cr and Tuckahoe Cr, which drain the surrounding hollows and valleys.
