2013 Map of Craggy Pinnacle

About this map

The Blue Ridge Pkwy snakes through the high ridges of Buncombe County, serving as a primary transit vein through a landscape defined by steep gaps and deep coves. Settlement is concentrated in the lower elevations, notably near Riceville and Beech, where local roads trace the paths of Bull Cr and Shope Creek. The water management of the region is evident through the inclusion of the Beetree Reservoir and Woodfin Reservoir, which sit tucked between peaks like Snowball Mountain and Wolfden Knob. For those interested in the recreational and historical footprint of the area, landmarks such as Rattlesnake Lodge and the Blackberry Inn offer specific points of interest. This survey reflects the modern balance of conserved mountain land and the expanding residential reaches found near Summerhaven and Countryside Est.
