1998 Map of Burnsville
USGS Topo · Published 2001About this map
The Cane River corridor defines the valley floor of this Yancey County landscape, where the town of Burnsville serves as a central hub beneath the towering Cane River Mountains. This late-twentieth-century survey, based on 1939 topography, illustrates a community deeply rooted in its geography, with numerous small settlements like Day Book, Green Mountain, and Windom following the paths of the many branches and forks. Educational and religious heritage is prominent, from Mine Fork Sch and Baker Creek Sch to churches like Bowring Chapel and Zion Ch. Much of the southern and eastern terrain is preserved as part of the Pisgah National Forest and Pisgah Game Lands, where landmarks like Beebranch Mtn and Bowlens Pyramid rise sharply above the State Prison Camp and the Mt Mitchell Boys Camp along the river.
