2013 Map of Burnsville

About this map

Burnsville serves as the central hub of this mountain landscape, where the Cane River and its numerous tributaries like Jacks Creek and Mine Fork shape the local geography. The map captures the Yancey County seat alongside specialized sites like the North Carolina State Prison Camp and the Mount Mitchell Boys Camp. Smaller settlements such as Day Book, Windom, and Toledo are linked by a network of state routes including NC-1335 and NC-1350, which navigate through gaps like Cooper Gap and Wolfpit Gap. High-altitude landmarks such as Phillips Knob Lookout and Mount Mitchell dominate the southern views, while the winding course of the Cane River provides a lifeline through Riverside. Genealogists may find interest in the numerous family-named features like McWilliams Branch, Anglin Knob, and Joe Young Ridge that suggest deep roots in these ridges.
