About this map

Lake Junaluska serves as a prominent focal point in this 1967 survey of Haywood County, featuring its swimming pool and youth center at the heart of the landscape. To the west, Waynesville and Barberville mark the edge of a growing mountain community, while the Pigeon River snakes through the center of the sheet, followed closely by the Southern railway line. The map highlights a transition from established valley settlements like Clyde to the protected boundaries of the Pisgah National Forest, where peaks like Goat Knob and Cansadie Top rise above the coves.

Industrial and community developments are evident through labels for the Crabtree Iron Duff High Sch and a large sewage treatment plant along the river. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, including Ratcliffe Cove Cem, McClure Cem, and the Hillcrest Memorial Gardens. The rural character is further detailed by numerous church locations such as Old Thickety Church and Fincher Chapel, reflecting the religious and social fabric of these North Carolina mountain gaps and valleys.
