About this map

The Pigeon River flows through the heart of this landscape, carving a valley where the towns of Clyde and Waynesville developed alongside the Southern Railway. To the west, the waters of Lake Junaluska serve as a focal point for the community, surrounded by residential developments like Fairway Hills and Ivy Hills. The map details a transition from the industrial and educational hub at Haywood Community College to the higher elevations of the Pisgah National Forest in the north.

Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Medford Cem, Fulbright Cem, and Ratcliffe Cove Cem. Small settlements such as Crabtree and Iron Duff maintain their identities along the winding paths of Crabtree Cr and Yates Cove. The geography is defined by a succession of high points like Hyder Mtn and Seay Mtn, which frame the agricultural and residential coves.
