About this map

Pisgah National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape where the Johns River and Mulberry Cr converge. The settlement of Collettsville serves as a central hub for the area's mountain roads, including Collettsville Rd and Abingdon Rd. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and peaks named for local figures and landmarks, such as Joe White Mtn, Adams Mtn, and Brown Mtn Ridge.

Tracing the waterways reveals a history of early industry and recreation, from the namesake Estes Mill Cr and Elijah Estes Mill Cr to the destination at Brown Mountain Beach. Smaller communities and junctions like Adako, Rufus, and Piney are connected by a network of descriptive local routes such as Fleming Chapel Church Rd and Little Johns Ch Rd, providing a clear record of the rural social geography within the Wilson Creek Wild and Scenic River corridor.
