About this map

Jonathans Creek and Cove Creek anchor this mid-century look at the high valleys of Haywood County, where small agricultural pockets like Suttontown and Beantown thrived along the bottomlands. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains and Pisgah National Forest, with a proposed boundary line indicating the shifting management of these mountain tracts in the 1940s. Local life is documented through numerous family-named landmarks and institutions, including the Rock Hill Sch and Shady Grove Ch.

Genealogists can trace property history through a concentration of family burial grounds, such as Davis Cem, Howell Cem, and Moody Cem. The terrain rises sharply to distinctive peaks like Hemphill Bald and Purchase Knob, while the lower elevations near Dellwood show the intersection of primary mountain roads and traditional creek-side settlements before later modernization changed the rural character of the area.
