1997 Map of Dellwood

About this map

Jonathan Creek serves as the primary drainage and developmental axis for this portion of the Blue Ridge, where the valley floor transitions into the protected wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The landscape is defined by the Cataloochee Divide, which separates the high ridges of the park from the growing tourist and residential areas in Maggie Valley. Small mountain communities such as Suttontown and Beantown are recorded alongside family-named cemeteries including Davis Cem and Brown Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogy of the region. Local institutions like Rock Hill Sch and the Olivet Ch anchor these settlements. While modern infrastructure like the Golf Course and Highway 276 appear, the map preserves the names of countless mountain peaks and gaps, from Hemphill Bald to Purchase Knob, documenting a high-altitude terrain where forestry and tourism meet.
