2019 Map of Craggy Pinnacle

About this map

The high ridges of the Pisgah National Forest dominate this topography, where the Blue Ridge Parkway winds along the eastern and southern peaks. In the lower elevations, small communities like Riceville and Beech occupy the valley floors, connected by historic mountain routes. The land is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Paint Fork Cem and Webb Cem, reflecting a long history of local settlement. Water management is evident at the Woodfin Reservoir, while the MTS Mountains to Sea Trail follows the high ground near Blackberry Inn. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where recreational infrastructure and conservation lands interface with established residential pockets like Summerhaven.
