2016 Map of Collettsville

About this map

The Johns River carves a deep path through the heart of this North Carolina mountain landscape, meeting Mulberry Cr at the community of Collettsville. This survey illustrates the dense network of ridges and knobs that define the eastern reaches of the Pisgah National Forest, including family-named landmarks like Joe White Mtn and Adams Mtn. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, with places like Adako and Brown Mountain Beach situated along the riverbanks. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Housesite Ridge and Sand Mtn, while old mill sites are suggested by watercourse names such as Estes Mill Cr and Carroll Mill Cr. Roadways like Adako Rd and Collettsville Rd trace the contours of the land, connecting these mountain hamlets and crossing the numerous branches that feed into the main river system.
