2013 Map of Celo

About this map

Celo and Hamrick sit along the winding valley of the S Toe River, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high mountain peaks. The 2013 topography reveals the concentrated settlement patterns in the gaps and coves, including Sugar Cove and Burgin Cove near Busick. This map illustrates the intersection of recreation and geography, featuring the Black Mountain Campground and the Lost Cove Picnic Area alongside numerous vertical landmarks like Celo Knob and Percys Peak. The abundance of water features, such as Roaring Spout Falls, Crabtree Falls, and Murphy Falls, highlights the steep drainage patterns from the surrounding ridges into the river valley. Notable engineering is also visible near Busick, where the Twin Tunnels carry traffic beneath the ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
