About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Pisgah National Forest converge in this high-altitude section of Haywood County, where the Cataloochee Divide separates the rugged drainages of the Pigeon River basin. This 2022 survey documents a landscape of deep familial roots, preserved in the high concentration of mountain cemeteries like the Sutton-Caldwell Family Cem and the Shelton-Caldwell Cem.

Settlement is concentrated in the valley floors along Jonathan Creek and the busy corridor of Soco Rd through Maggie Valley. The transition from the protected wilderness of Big Fork Ridge to the developed communities of Dellwood and Jonathan is marked by an extensive network of modern roads and traditional mountain trails. Genealogists can trace family lines through isolated landmarks such as the Robert Palmer Cem and Hiram Caldwell Cem, while hikers will find detailed routes including the Boogerman Trl and McKee Branch Trl.
