2013 Map of Glade Valley

About this map

Sparta and the surrounding high country of the Blue Ridge define this 2013 survey of the northern North Carolina borderlands. The landscape is marked by a network of creeks and small settlements like Glade Valley and Cherry Lane that have persisted through generations of mountain life. Significant landmarks such as Bullhead Mountain and Mahogany Rock Mountain dominate the central terrain, while the Little Glade Millpond serves as a notable local water feature. The survey illustrates the modern road network, including the path to the Stone Mountain Overlook, which provides access to the dramatic topography of Devils Garden. This map is a record of the region's complex geography, from the headwaters of the E Prong Roaring River to the residential development radiating from the town center, preserving the placement of family-named roads and remote mountain gaps like Deep Gap.
