2022 Map of Eastatoe Gap

About this map

The Blue Ridge mountains dominate this borderland where North Carolina and South Carolina meet, a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-altitude water sources. Small settlements like Middle Fork and Rocky Bottom serve as the primary human touchpoints in a region largely sheltered by the Pisgah National Forest and Nantahala National Forest. The map illustrates the headwaters of several critical drainage systems, including the E Fork French Broad River and the Oolenoy River, which flow from prominent gaps like Eastatoe Gap and Folly Gap.
