2019 Map of Burnsville

About this map

The Burnsville valley serves as a central hub where the Cane River meets its numerous tributaries, including Pine Swamp Br and Boulens Cr. This 2019 survey documents the expansion of neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and Riverside while preserving the rural character of mountain gaps and coves. The landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, from the high peaks of Mount Mitchell and Cane Mtn to the deep recesses of Pounding Mill Cove and Roland Hollow. Local family history is etched into the terrain through numerous burial grounds such as Edney Cem, Banks Cem, and Dellinger Cem. To the south, the protected boundaries of the Pisgah National Forest frame the developed corridors, illustrating the balance between township growth and forest preservation in the Blue Ridge region.
